Remarks & Notes 
An evening rush hour MBTA commuter train just out of Boston's South Station crosses the massive triple bascule bridge over Fort Point Channel behind F40PH 1015. The bridge was constructed along with South Station in 1898. Navigation on this part of the channel ended in the 1960s and the bridge was removed when trackage in this area was rebuilt and slightly relocated in the late 1980s. One of the roller arms was mounted at its former location as a commemorative sculpture.

The 70's and 80's were a transition period for the MBTA characterized by an eclectic mix of equipment including Budd RDC's, ex-New Haven stainless steel coaches, and a mix of motive power acquired from various railroads.

Pictures of trains from the Boston area and Florida when I was younger, things that I remember but did not have a good camera to capture.
