MBTA Commuter Rail on the Newburyport/Rockport Line - August 2024

Hey big fan❤

6:33 I saw that train in Chelsea that day lol.

[@ericschwartz3559]

One of 1134’s last runs before being rebuilt in Rochester.

[@samstranghorwitz]

Currently 1134 is sitting at Readville yard. Rochester is very full. Not sure how long it will stay, but it's at Readville for training.

7:14, 1031’s nose is still damaged I see from the storm and downing a tree and striking 1031 on its nose whenever that was.

17:50, 1117!!!! Fresh rebuild and looking sharp in that new lightning bolt paint scheme. Was the cleanest GP40 in August, but I’m sure it’s gathering some dirt and soot now. 😢 Glad you see them while they’re still fresh and clean before they get dirty and gross. Even 1058 looked like it needed a good long hot soapy bath and scrub with water yuck. 🤮

[@ericschwartz3559]

Hold on I thought 1136 was out of service due to some mechanical issues? 🤔 Sorry man I don’t keep close track to the gp40s whether they’re in service or out due to some issues.

[@samstranghorwitz]

1136 ran almost all of August. But is currently out status is unkwon

[@ericschwartz3559]

Have you heard 1027 and 1034 are testing at mpi in black paint and I just saw 1067 which is the newest and cleanest F40 on the roster.

[@rail_spike_productions]

Yes, I am looking forward to seeing more rebuilds coming back. I’ve only seen 1067 a few times since it has returned, when it was operating on the south side’s “North Pole Express”

Look at the diesel exhaust coming out of 2011. Good old dirty smelly diesels. 😡😂
