Remarks & Notes

As the sun drops low, an evening MBTA rush hour train of ex-New Haven coaches behind an F40PH passes the former NH Dover Street coach yard in South Boston, now used for rapid transit (Red Line) car storage. In 1982 all trains bound for former NH points left the city via the MBTA Fairmount branch, since the main line via Back Bay was being reconstructed by the Southwest Corridor project.
