Locomotive number was 904 btw.

Ahhh, we were moving a bit fast.

NETransit says #010 is currently on the North Side, which control coach is it paired with?

I saw 010 at BET this morning with control car 1637.

Not sure which thread this belongs in... Around 4:50 today I saw several bilevels trailed by an HSP heading northbound onto the BU Bridge. Unless the northside was that desperate for rush hour equipment, I'm very surprised they'd make that move at rush hour through Cambridge.

My guess is they're beefing up the bilevel fleet to support tomorrow evening's extra service to Salem.

More than likely a test train returning from it's cab signal test.

Yes, it was a test train. Got back to BET around 520PM, with CSX right behind them.

Also, hearing a set from the Southside will come to BET Friday for the extra service to
Salem's Haunted Happenings.

The 010 is currently running North Side, control car is 1807 for those who wish to track it.

1507 is leading a set. It's interesting to note this is an Old Colony car with power doors.

What locomotive is the 1507 paired with?

Is the 1507 still leading? Over the past couple days I haven't seen it show up once on the train tracker

Spotted a new on about 5:15 tonight at North Station: 2004 was leading another HSP on a set on track 8 or 9. I couldn't see the number of the trailing unit from my vantage point. First time I've seen two of the newbies doubleheading on a set.

From 8th notch on the New Loco Discussion:

Here's one, the 2004/2013 currently paired together.

Could be?

Must be the same. I misfiled here (where we post doubleheaders, etc) not thinking that 8th Notch would be doing the same over in the HSP thread at the same time. Does sound (from the other post there) that they must be trying to get 2004 out of testing and into revenue service.
