First Old Colony & Newport passenger excursion in 3 years! Portsmouth, RI - 8/18/2024

With cooperation from the Newport & Narragansett Bay Railroad the Old Colony & Newport Railway was able to operate a passenger charter on the Newport Secondary Rail Line for the first time in 3 years. While the Old Colony has been active, they have not operated a passenger charter since 2021 when the wood coaches were still in service. Today the wood cars are on display in Melville, RI meaning they are no longer available for charter use so the group was no longer able to provide train rides. Thankfully the Newport & Narragansett Bay generously offered the use of locomotive 14 and Rail Diesel Car (RDC) BC-15 for the operation of a volunteer/invite only excursion between Melville and Sakonnet River. OCN was then able to operate the train and this video shows the excursion at various photo stops along the route. Included in this video is newly acquired NNB 65T switcher from the US Navy which is seen at the end of the video switching with BC-15.
