Do any pictures exist of the MBTA commuter train pushing BO-1 earlier this week?

What's this about?

It's about:

BostonUrbEx wrote:BO-1 died right at Salem station today on their way to Peabody. Train 162 had to push them through the tunnel to the #1 track, go back to Salem, and then continue in on the #2 track. A significant delay was the result for Train 162.

It appears that 162 had to push BO-1 earlier this week. It died in Salem.

Somehow BO-1 Made it back to to the Peabody Branch and was parked on by Bridge Street for a day.

Is the canal street place still getting a car once in a while?

There were several cars at the chemical place off Canal Street today. There were several empties on the tail of Allen's Lane in Peabody today.

This morning BO-1 MEC 317 came to Salem with three bones. They picked up the two bones that had been resting off Bridge Street and headed to Peabody.

BO-1 currently heading through to Peabody. I didn't see the road number just quickly saw them while driving on Jefferson Ave.

Four bones and four acids on the tail off Allen's Lane

Not sure if it qualifies as a Salem alert, but I wasn't sure where else to put it. I spotted a pair of PAR locomotives chugging north towards Malden on the Haverhill Line this morning around 8:30am. I was on a full Orange Line train, so I couldn't see any numbers as the passed the Assembly Square stop.

I didn't know anything other than MBTA trains ran on the Haverhill Line south of the Lowell split.

BODO uses the Western Route almost every time they run. LA-2 will also run that way on occasion, usually only if necessary, and some crews aren't qualified that way. Ash Interlocking was cut in, making Western Route extras a little less cumbersome. Once the Medford Jct underpass is eliminated, even more freight will run this way, especially during Lowell Line outages for GLX.

Thanks for the reply. I've been a regular Orange Line rider for many years, but this is the first time I've seen freight on that line. Cool!

is the tunnel staying for the orange line ?
