Also, recently I saw a set with 4 300 series. Is it just me, or do you not normally see to many 300s on the North Side.
Also, did any 1300s ever exist?

Saw it on service on Newbury/Rockport on Monday, now it's on Framingham.Might have been sooner than that. Most if not all of last week the passenger count train had a control cab of the 16xx series.
