2034 looks so weird without its “T” in the front. nice video as always!
It absolutely does haha, thanks again
Thank you for this great video, with so much variety ! I was intrigued to see a MPI loco on the point of a mixed rake of MBTA cars with a single Amfleet car. I wonder why ?.
Thank you for the kind words!! The train you are referring to measures and inspects the rails which is done by that Amtrak coach, as MBTA does not own any inspection equipment like that. MBTA leases that coach from Amtrak every 3 months
Nice catches with the MBTA extra and all
Thank you!
Great work
Thank you
U where near my house on plain street braintree i am always at dunkin donuts across from plain street would have been cool to meet u the next time that u are in braintree I am always at that dunkin donuts just wanted to let u know
That’s cool, I’ve passed that place a good few times. I’m sure I will be in the area again soon, I will let you know
Rail Spike has the 2034 gotten a new T decal on its nose yet? I’m curious. I remember in the summer of 2021 I saw 2034 pushing an inbound out of west medford and noticed as the train left the station that the HSP46 had no T decal on its nose. I thought to myself and every time I see 2034 i think “ohh there’s the cursed HSP”. 🤣🤣
It still doesn’t have one, funnily enough. The nose was still blank when I saw it a few weeks back on the south side
I wonder if it’ll break down again, Lol. 😅 What are they waiting for, put a new one on it already. 😡🤮 Where on the south side did you see it? I’m curious.
I saw it at fairmount on a Deadhead move to readville. Saw it right after seeing the capeflyer set with the 1129 and 1138
I wonder why mbta decided to make 1129 into a heritage unit? Don’t get me wrong I love the cranberry red color on it, looks nice on a geep. What does a heritage unit even mean or what does it represent?
A heritage unit is a locomotive that wears a heritage scheme, as in a scheme from a railroads’s heritage (in the past). The decision to paint 1129 was suggested by some higher ups who thought it would look nice as far as I’m aware
Wait, why doesn't 2034 have its T decal on its nose? Also, why was 2034 and 1133 double heading on a set?
2034 got in an accident and it’s nose was replaced, just guess they just didn’t put the T decal back on. Those two locos were double heading due a potential mechanical failure in the 2034 which had just returned to revenue service after being out of service for ages.
When you say for ages, I estimate that the 2034 was out of service for 6+ years.
It was closer to 2 years, I don’t remember exactly how long so I did not specify
Did the 2034 hit a tree or something? What was the cause of its mechanical failure? Was it shipped off-site or repaired at Boston Engine Terminal?
I believe it was a tree yes. All work to it was done at BET in Boston. Mechanical issues were related to the locomotive not running for a long time as the front of it was rebuilt
why dafuq was there an amtrak car coupled in there with all the rest
It’s a track inspection car that MBTA uses every few months, as they do not have their own
