Tracking MBTA Commuter Rail horns and their rolling museum of GM power.

We start with an important public service message. We have a thrilling day on the “North Side” of the T Commuter Rail where many of their 2nd generation rebuilt EMD’s roam. If you see an old guy around Boston with foam up to his neck, it’s probably me after a visit to the “North Side”. We see many F40PH-3C’s and GP40MC’s including the Massdot painted #1125. We fortunately see only a few of those mechanically challenged Garfield engines. They do have great unrestricted K5LA horns though and we hear much pleasant music from the locos and cab cars alike.  We start out visiting Chelsea station with its many railroad crossings where horns are sounded. We later head to the north end outside North Station where we see a heavy duty fashion show of classic EMD’s. Enjoy!!!
