Fore River Transportation Leases and picks up Precision Units 2107 and 9619 through a Keolis swap

Today myself along with three other Railfans go and chase Fore River Transportation 101 picking up the Precision Leaser units from Braintree to the Quincy Shipyard due to their B23-7 102 and GP38-2 7750s old age catching up to them and are currently in maintenance in the mean time Fore River are currently leasing and using units PNLX 2107 and PNLX 9619 for their service from Quincy to Braintree until at least one of their locomotives are in Decent shape anyways Railfans feel free to take a trip and visit these locomotives while they are spending their time there
If you have any questions, concerns etc Leave a comment and I will get back to you

I caught those two in the rail yard a week ago and was wondering why they were there. It’s a shame 102 isn’t doing too well, I hope they can get it back up and running!

@@MassBayBricks to what I was told the whole engine is done (might be wrong) and maybe swapping 7750s engine to fit into 102 but I do not know any other details as of right now

Nice catch. Like the emd power

The rarest occurrence yet the last time something like this happened was with Bay colony in the early 90s

My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🛤🚊🚂🚃🚄🚅🚇🚈🚉🚝🚞🚋 they're one of his favorite things in the whole world 🌎! He especially likes the cabooses Fore River Transportation has he thinks cabooses are highly underrated pieces of railroad equipment and that they should not have been replaced with the flashing rear end device. He thinks they should have left the caboose on the end of the train and should have just installed the end of train device onto it.

@@gretchenchadwick8343 I’m not sure if you are a bot judging the way this was formatted but what I can say is that the flashing end devices are EOTS and I am not a huge fan of cabooses but what I can say is what I’m guessing is that they stopped using cabooses because it was a hassle to move around during switching in small railyards the reason they got EOTs is so if a train comes detached mid run it will alert the engineer to stop the locomotive and back up to attach the train again if your son is a fan of the 7750 like myself and the 102 both of them aren’t really doing too well mechanically
