Remarks & Notes 
The dashing snouts of three Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority F40PHs wait out the weekend at Boston's venerable South Station. These units were/are used on the active former New Haven and New York Central lines. All three are from MBTA's initial order for new engines, and were delivered between 9 and 11/1978. Note the "ghetto bars" over the windshields to protect against rock throwers. Took this shot while waiting for my Amtrak home to New York City.

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.
