I was told about the design for the loco and it is going into G&U scheme black and yellow.
Probably over the winter.....can't wait to see it, will be a solid look from what was described.

Recently, I saw a photo in Railpace Magazine, of track crews working in West Barnstable, to prepare for Boston-Hyannis service this summer.
I rode through service in 1989, the last year that the New York-Hyannis train operated, but knew nothing of this deal.
Is it true? Will it be T trains?
Sounds exciting!

Tom Cahir, administrator of the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority, told his advisory board Jan. 18 that a consultant group continues to provide “good news” about the potential of a seasonal service via the MBTA’s Lakeville-Middleboro station. This would include a couple of trains into Hyannis on Friday night, a “day-tripper” service on Saturday from Boston, and two return trips Sunday.CCC trains to Middleboro station for a commuter rail transfer. And possibly some ticketing coordination. But that's it. Needs approval from the state to use Middleboro platform, and a decision to commit small spending for a 5-year program of track maintenance to get the speeds back up to par. Needs to be a call on that soon because they would do the first year's repair work in Spring as soon as the ground thaws.
