Sooo....
B&M EMD F-7 #4266 was built in 1949, served the B&M for 30 years and arrived for retirement in North Conway around 1980 at age 31.
MBTA F-40PH #'s1000-1012 were built in 1978 and have operated for 35 years in commuter service. Will any be preserved?
Perhaps we will see MBTA F40PHs rolling on the rails of the Pemi River in Lincoln, NH with the old B&M/MBTA Budd cars in tow?
Maybe the 470 club will rescue a set much like the B&M f-7s for duty in Crawford Notch?
Perhaps the RRMo NE would be wiling to preserve some??
Berkshire Scenic? Seashore Trolley? Etc...
All I hope....is that if any are preserved, they remain in MBTA paint. You wouldn't want to see 4266 in anything other than B&M colors would you?
