A Variety of MBTA Commuter Rail Paint Schemes on an Equipment Move Around Boston, MA - 10/27/2024

Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the video. If you are new here, my channel mostly consists of railroad videography from around the Northeastern USA.

On this day, the locomotive powering the equipment move was MassDOT painted GP40MC-3 1137. It hauled HSP46 2038 and GP40MC-3 1129 (heritage scheme) towards the Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility (Boston Engine Terminal) in Somerville, MA. It returned with two coaches bound for the south side: CTC-5 control cars 1828 and 1814. The combination of multiple MBTA paint schemes on one train made for quite the unique sight in downtown Cambridge on this Sunday afternoon.
