Remarks & Notes

In the early 1980s the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority purchased six Burlington Northern GP9s for commuter service hauling depowered RDCs. Here MBTA 1925 enters Boston's North Station with three Budds that are respectively of New Haven, Reading, and Boston & Maine heritage.
