Thomaston Station almost ready for Christmas season!

You can actually hear the gauge stretch

Someone should let the MBTA know about this gauge stretching technique, it could save them a bundle on the Green Line Extension repairs!

I see the Naugy's getting an SPV; are there plans to re-power or continue to run as a trailer?

I know the owner; no plans to re-power. I’ll see it on Thursday.

Nice to see * is getting a good home for the car. Would be a beautiful addition for Christmas volumes, especially it the URHS cars don’t come back in a future year.

OT but Apparently Railexco acquired 7 SPVs in 2023 and will retain 2 which will be overhauled. One rehabbed SPV (shown here) is being used on the TRRA's Polar Express Train Ride at St Louis.
