Remarks & Notes 
In 1983-84 the MBTA purchased six GP9s from the Burlington Northern for use on trains of depowered RDCs. MBTA 1922, built as Northern Pacific 286, was one of two that received this maroon and gray paint scheme while the rest continued working in BN green. Here it was about to depart Lowell, MA, for Boston with an inbound train.
