More Millis

You say you're not satisfied, you say you want more? We spent a second say at Millis watching BCLR 1705 switch out aggregate cars at the GAF shingle plant. Later, we caught the engine backing a cut of cars to the CSX interchange in Medfield.

You know, one funny thing is, when your looking at train tracks from say a normal level when your standing on them, they look straight. But when you start looking more ground level and from a distance, they look bumpy and zigg-zaggy... this video proves it! NICE!!!

This branch certainly does...I don't think a dime has gone into maintenance for years. Notice that the ties are mostly sunken into the ground - no ballast. It's a wonder that anything stays on the rails...

Millis, Massachusetts.

I believe this is right behind what was a GAF shingle manufacturing facility. GAF has since closed a few years ago and sits vacant now.

Amazing video though, love the environment, and the action!

@GedMpBasS most branch lines/industral spurs are like this. Chances are a shortline who doesn't have the overhead for maintaining tracks will spend their budget else where then putting it into maintaining tracks.

Nope, this is the end of the line, It's been a rollercoaster for many many years, I do remember work being done on the line, but that was 25 years ago.
