Maine Railfan's video: 4K Chasing Eastern Maine Railway Trains: 908 and 907 7 2 2022

On 7/2/2022 I decided to chase EMR 908-02 since it had recently reactivated SD40-2 6319 in the lead. The 6319 had been a parts unit for almost a year, but a locomotive shortage necessitated its return. I caught up with the train as it was switching Hardy Pond Siding. I chased east from Mattamiscontis, ME. However not long into the chase 908-02 the train would get several hot wheels due to a sticking brake on a well car, after passing the Pea Ridge defect detector in Chester. The crew would perform a haul by at Chester and the issue would be addressed. From there I jumped to Mattawamkeag where you will get a quick look around the CSX yard. The train would once again set off a defect detector with the same issue at Kingman after passing through Mattawamkeag. So I jumped to Bancroft to shoot 907-02, since 908-02 was limping along at 10 MPH. At Bancroft both crews worked to isolate the problem well car which would be kicked off at Saint John for repairs. Although it was dark, I would chase 907-02 back to Mattawamkeag, ME before calling it a night. *During this chase I was unable to get audio recordings of the defect detectors.* Be sure to like and follow us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/Maine-Railfan-1557326820980856/ Follow us on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/mainerailfan/ Copyright Maine Railfan 2023 All Rights Reserved
