Wrecked MBTA Commuter Rail Equipment

The 2 locos stated are the only current accident victims don't think there were any more in the post budd car era.

Oh I thought there would be a lot like with the cars that got wrecked

Why so? We haven't had many accidents on the CR and execpt for the 2 that were already stated the rest have been with the cab car in the leading position.

Why does it always seem when there's an accident it's the cab car in front

Good answer diburning

1075 was damaged in its January 1996 tangle with a low-boy tractor-trailer and excavator in Wakefield. It was repaired and returned to service.

I saw 1075 pulling #217 outbound this afternoon and recalled the accident.

Ok does anyone know more besides what's here already

902 suffered an electrical fire. 902 was a work engine. It is now a parts donor for 904.

Was 902 the readville switcher

The Readville switcher is more of a "train" where the locomotive assigned can change. It can be any of the work engines (and before the gensets arrived, the Readville switcher could occasionally be a GP40MC)

Ok I read somewhere that 902 was the loco on te readville switcher

If you read a posts back I believe someone already said that the 902/904 were the normal engines for the readville switcher prior to the gensets entering service.

But 902 is scrapped after a fire at bet a while back

It has not been scrapped it has been retired and stripped after the fire but it is still in the same spot as it has been for how ever long now.
