Can't remember the date, have a newspaper clipping somewhere, GOD knows where, but I do remember that night. It was the middle of the rush hour, and I was the brakeman on a Framingham local. The house engineer was bringing a draft over from Southampton Street yard with the 1013 on the rear, for some reason, probably split a switch, the 1013 derailed and tipped over and found itself precariously leaning up against a retaining wall at the throat of the yard at South Bay. This sealed the fate of the rest of the rush hour, and the Trainmaster was scrambling for equipment. The Amtrak Superintendant, a good railroad man from the B&O, stepped in and ordered the newly arrived "Lake Shore Limited" turned and loaded up with local passengers and headed back out to Framingham. What a treat for myself and my passengers to ride home in the luxury of 50's era reclining seat coaches complete with a staffed bar car!
After the 1013 was righted and inspected, she was sent over to B.E.T. to have her body damage repaired whereupon she got the new B&M take on the "T" paint scheme, metallic Imron maroon and silver with yellow accent stripes, in all, five units got this paint job. They were the 1013,1104,1108,1110, and 1151, the "T" was NOT pleased! The maroon and silver deviated from the accepted purple and silver, the 1013 didn't last long in this scheme and was repainted properly within a years time, the F-10's remained in the maroon for the rest of their careers
