  • What are you sitting in? I heard a backup horn when you reversed.

  • @toolengnh - a truck

  • I used to explore this area in the day! Somewhere I have photos of the SW units they once used back in the 80s, along with the now-abandoned section that once ran to North Point Road! Thanx to this line I was occasionally late for work! I'd be stuck at the Boston Street crossing seemingly forever, watching a long train just creep by! Still, interesting how back in the 50s this line was (somewhat) associated with the Ma & Pa RR-with the same president for both. Their SWs looked like Ma & Pa's!

  • @bullfrog1954 - Thanks - I can always count on you for some interesting information and/or observation!

  • What ever yer driving sounds gnarly! What is it?

  • @jgwilding Or tempted to cut the last couple of cars loose and clear the crossing. 8^)

  • @MrConraal As someone who hung out there in the 80s and 90s (used to manage Blockbuster on Boston St) I've only heard it referred to simply as the "Canton Yard."

  • Nice video. There aren't too many videos of this interesting little interchange railroad. Buy the way, what's the name of their yard located next to the 1-95 tunnels? I sometimes get it mixed up with Penn Mary to the north.

  • I'm surprised all of the people waiting didn't get out to push the thing just to get the last car through the crossing! :)

  • Gotta love baltimores bumpy roads....nice video
