@SonicLOVA55 You probably know this by now but the diesel was only temporarily filling in for the Climax because she was having her boiler replaced
-
Was the locomotive pushing the train the Climax 6? Because Clarks had a Deisel US Military train pushing the coaches for some time... Does anyone know why they replaced the Climax 6 with a Deisel??

Fortunately, the engineer ("driver") is in the rear of the train, as the locomotive is pushing.

Really?! they plan to extend it? perfect! Any completion date expected?

Not that I can tell you. On the video you can see at the end of the line the tracks pass under an exit ramp for I-93. Well, legally, the railway trains are not supposed to go under that bridge because it's kinda low. Clark's Trading Post needs to get permission from the state to run trains under the bridge, and then construction can begin. Once the expansion is complete, the railway will about double in length. The plan is to run two trains at a time that will meet at a passing siding.

Neat, thanks for posting! I've never ridden from the front of the train like this so it's neat to see that view. I also always wondered if the track went any further beyond I-93, but now I can see that it doesn't! (haha) Does anyone know if this was the roadbed of a logging railroad back in the day?

Thanks for the kind words. No, this was never a logging road--it was built in the 1950s by Clark's Trading Post for the purpose it serves today. Good news, though--plans to lengthen the line by a little more than a mile are moving forward.
