Intended to be a part of the 2010 Summer Travels series, the Massachusetts Turnpike carries Interstate 90 through its last leg of the transcontinental journey. During the journey through Western Massachusetts, the Mass Pike carries long distance traffic, whereas local traffic uses US Route 20 for the towns in between. As a result, the Mass Pike has a 30 mile gap between Exits 3 (Westfield) and 2 (Lee), a common theme in the west, but a rarity in the east. This video travels the westbound Mass Pike between Exit 3 and Exit 1, ending about a mile east of the toll booths. Music is “Foreplay-Long Time” by Boston. All rights reserved.

This is not in the Berkshires it’s about old locomotives called

Berkshire Nickel Plate, This a nice video about old famous locomotives. If you’re a train buff you’ll love it.

Well i have decided to make a series starring all the survivng NKP Berkshires. Roles taken are 779 by Kleman09, 765 by NorfolkandWestern611, 755 by bnsf261, and 587 by engineer765, and 757 by atsf3415dbr . The main charecter is #779. She is the baby of the family and she is sad that she dosent get to blow her whistle anymore. She feels alone and sad. I need voicing for the rest of the berkshires who dont have a voice yet. Please PM me if you are interested. You will need to send in a tryout video.

HURRICANE IRENE in the BERKSHIRES

This was a bad Hurricane for Berkshire County. I think the storm was easy on us compared to upstate NY and Vermont.we had very little damage just a lot of rain. I have a small stream 3 foot wide behind my house and it went over the banks 20 feet wide in some places. never seen so much water before.

The phone’s mic isn’t really picking up the rumble that we are hearing… we thought jets were evacuating somewhere, as it was a deep loud rumbling noise!

In Nothern Berkshire County we got very little wind, No wind damage here. Iwas very calm and I expected we were in the eye and itwould start blowing anditnever did. We almost always miss the big storms,they go by either north or south of us. I think it hassomething to do with Mount Greylock and surounding mointains protect us and move north and south a bit.
