The quiet of a long summer evening in Hoocksett, NH, is momentarily disturbed by the evening MBTA train between Boston and Concord, NH, over the Boston & Maine. This service ran under a one-year grant from January 1980 to February 1981 but ended when New Hampshire failed to provide ongoing funding.
The 70's and 80's were a transition period for the MBTA characterized by an eclectic mix of equipment including Budd RDC's, ex-New Haven stainless steel coaches, and a mix of motive power acquired from various railroads.
