In Part 1 of volume 9, the date is June 19, 1985, & cameraman Walt Berko is traveling east on Amtrak’s Discontinued Benjamin Franklin from New Haven Connecticut to Providence Rhode Island. Continuing Coverage to South Station in Boston was shown in part 2.
Note that in these almost 40-year-old footages, these scenes were recorded way before Amtrak extended the Electrification Route from New Haven to Boston’s South Station, as most of the railroad crossings on the Northeast Corridor minus some in Connecticut were removed more than 10 years after the footage was recorded.
Aside from New Haven & Providence, there are other locations in Southern New England like East Haven (home of the nearby Shoreline Trolley Museum), Milepost 81 at Brantford, Stoney Creek, East River at MP 90, Westbrook, Old Saybrook (with a wye that connects to the steam powered Valley Railroad in Essex), over the Connecticut River Drawbridge, along the Atlantic Ocean to Lyanac River Drawbridge, New London Harbor near Interstate 95 with since been removed semaphore signals, plus ferryboat service to Orient Point New York on Long Island as well as the CV to Brattleboro Vermont, over the Thames River Bridge through Groton where the P&W goes to Worcester Via Putnam, Palmer’s Cove at MP 129, Mystic River Drawbridge & Depot, Little Cox Cove, West Harbor, Westerly, Bradford, Kingston RI depot, Wickford Junction, & Warwick.
Along the way, there are meets with the since been retired Motorcars, other Amtrak units that have since been replaced by the Genesis units, Some MOW equipment, & even Freights on Conrail & Providence & Worcester, plus a ballast train with former Santa Fe units at Groton.
