Here's a picture of the head end of the train pictured above. Kawasaki control car #1706 leads her train through Readville Station on a cloudy, windy, cool afternoon in April 2001. The GP40MC 1138 pushes.
MBTA Boston to Worcester local arrives at CP43, the Worcester Yard Limits on the CSX Boston Line. She climbed, using only ONE EMD, F40PH-2C. Between the TOFC, she makes a brief but majectic appearance. East end of Worcester Yard.
An eastbound Framingham local, led by a Messerschmidt control car and 5 Pullman coaches glides through Weston, MA at Route 128 (I-95) in July 1993. This was always one of my favorite spots on Conrail's Boston Line.
A Franklin Local with Messerschmidt Control Car #1517 in the lead approaches Norwood Depot station in fall 1999. The historic Plympton Press building serves as the background in this warm autumn landscape.
Here's a shot of MBTA Control Car, 1517 as it gets closer at Norwood Depot Station. For my money, these are the BEST cars that the T has ordered, yet. She's headed to Boston on track 2, East. Great location!
On track #5 at Readville Station, MBTA EMD/AMF GP40MC #1124 pushes Boston-bound train #720, a Franklin local towards South Station. These have an espescially loud auxiliary alternator. You can ID them before U see them!
