@sticklets87 it was a cab car which means they couldn't turn around

I believe that it was. Did you know him? Is he still kicking, I hope?

Was Herbie his name?

No. It was later. Maybe the next week. I know I missed it because I was in the parking lot of the the Cranberry Plaza Shopping Mall in Wareham when it went by behind the stores, leaving forever. I heard it. I think that I was unaware that the last one was coming thru until after the fact. Shoot. As I remember it was the last run also for an Amtrak engineer who had been with the railroad for a long time. He was retiring. Can't remember his name.

No. Amtrak is long gone. The train in this video is possibly the 2nd to the last one off of the Cape. September 1996. No passenger trains run south of Middleboro now going towards Cape Cod. There is talk of someday extending the MBTA commuter runs at least to Buzzards Bay. Maybe someday.
