What is weird about this agreement is it seems like the T is giving away the store just to get to Wachusett. But there is no penalty clause. Oops. That's what the T lawyer means by the agreement isn't binding. So I assume the penalty would be that the T can't carry passengers to Wachusett. Note that the agreement is signed by Beverly Scott and Mr Fink Jr, both highly esteemed in these forums for their intelligence and foresight.
At present,PAR/PAS barely have +/- 87 "active" locos,not counting the reported influx of ex-CSX GE units.
it will be a "Real Pain" for MBTA if "forced" to transfer installed I-ETMS/ACSES gear from newly "Deadlined" units to
to other "active"units.
