MBTA Red Line 01522 Departing Downtown Crossing

[@carlosaguilar6843]

In my own honest opinion: The MBTA should send a pair of each of the old, respective Red Line train series, to a U.S. railway/trolley museum that's potentially interested in making new acquisitions and if they fit within their mission statement(s). Well, I'm going to keep trying to find a place. I've received a total of 4 rejection letters from the following (1 from each place): Illinois Railway Museum, North Carolina Transportation Museum, Railroad Museum of New England, and Shore Line Trolley Museum, respectively.

You know those 01400 work cars at Codman Yard. So basically the T actually did move them around Codman Yard and separated 01470 from 01477. So basically there's two of 2 sets. 01469/01470 separated from 01477/01480

This may be the time to catch the 01500s as much as you can. The has 16 new CRRC 1900s. Also 28 in production going to be delivered very soon. This may wack the 01500s out.

Nice shot. Train doesn’t seem so robust on the departure. Still speed restrictions on the line?

[@NickDaltonYT]

Yeaaaa there are still some speed restrictions in place along the line.

I'm curious when the will retire these Cause only 12 more cars of the 1900s may be able to retire the 01500s in 2024.

I hope these end up at Seashore, unlike the Orange Line 1200s. They probably will though, because the 12's would have ended up there if they didn't have the identical Blue Line 600's. While these Red Line trains don't have any identical rolling stock anywhere else.

@@davidkatz2760 Let's hope that the old MBTA Red Line trains will eventually have a new home. But who knows where?
