Why overhaul the MBB's for Greenfield? With the pending Rotem order due to replace the Bombardier cars that are in MUCH better shape, I would think they would go that route. Greenfield-Springfield is a short enough distance that the lack of restrooms is not really a issue. If it is, they could alway...

There is a lot going on in Washington when trains stop there. Engines and crews must be changed, cars serviced as needed, cafe's restocked as needed. Sometimes coach cleaners will board and empty the bathroom trash. It is NOT simply a engine change and off you go.

BNSF line train 1229 has struck a trespasser near Belmont. Delay duration unknown.

105 is BN. Thanks! Another question.....I know the BNSF and SWS share equipment, but I am assuming they do not share with HC? The reason I am assuming that is I found a video on youtube from Canal St, and there were three trains that were backwards and went to the thru tracks the Builder uses, I as...

A lot of the low numbered F40s are kind of all over the place right now. 100-125 are kind of split up between the BNSF, Milwaukee Districts, and SWS. I know 100-110 (with the exception of 105) are all MILW. Good to know. I knew some were over there, as I have seen 101, 103 and 104 on the Franklin P...

Is there a current unit by unit listing somewhere as to what is assigned where? I am mostly looking for lower numbered F40’s. Getting ready for my trip in the beginning of June!

I know I am bumping a old thread, but I am coming back to Chicago beginning of June to railfan, with the wife. Don’t worry, she is into trains. Did not get to Franklin Park last time, going to make it this time. Planning on doing rush hour on the raceway again, but I have more time to work with this...

I could see this happening, but on the Southside only. There would be WAY too much work needed on the Northside for this. Start with Old Colony, since those lines were rebuilt with future electrification in mind. The only line I see as a possible issue south is Worcester. Worst case scenario is you ...

1054 was sighted passing thru Mentor, OH yesterday afternoon.

Could any one picture if a RR Police department was featured on cops? Well, it kinda happened. Was watching one episode where they were working with BNSF police on a drunk who got his stolen truck stuck on the Tracks. They even showed the officer’s name and listed his department correctly as BNSF R...

I'm all for David Ortiz Station. After all, the bridge just east of the station is the David Ortiz bridge.

If MARC does not have enough equipment, the MBTA has some very worn MBB’s available.

The MBB’s will be lucky to survive the lease. There is a lot of rust and rot in bad places, including the corner posts. Some of them are so bad I can put my fist thru the holes! Then there is the floor issue.....ever walked on a giant sponge? Wow, that paint scheme is HORRIBLE. Perhaps it was time t...

Are those LED headlights?
