YUP, that's me... No, someone MISSED Littleton last night, that was bad
The NS SD70 was not allowed to go over the grand junction Guessing cause of it's weight and the lack of great track. I was the asst conductor on the 7:35p Fitchburg And was able to snap off a few pics before leaving time.

The reason why they were removed is because if they have controls, they have to be inspected every 92 days. Because they dont need all those control cars anymore, it's cheaper to run them just as a coach.
The 1649 IS ACSES equipped, it has been for sometime now. I dont think it ever really worked, it's over at BET right now. Even when it's on the north side, the car seems to have problems...

LOL :D
Dont even get me started on the rest rooms! Track one is used, they have installed wheel stops and a baracade just short of the car. The car is lettered because eventually it will be sent to TTA in New York to be rebuilt. They currently have two 1600 cars there being worked on from the same accident...
Last night a 300 series coach was placed on track one at the bunter for MBCR crews to have a place to go between trains at north station.
