Looks like a B&M engine sort of.

[trainmasta227]

@tpirman1982 Oh Ok

[ck4049]

I think the loco is headed for the Boston Engine Terminal from Readville.

[diverdown59]

look up the MBTA GP9 on google it tell's all about the train

[MIkey2008g6]

thats the 904, the grey and orange one is the long out of service 902, and the red flag signifies that is the end of the train.

[BostonUrbEx]

Looks like the MBTA's GP9 but with a weird paint scheme. I thought the MBTA only had one GP9? That ol' gray and orange beauty?

[mello27]

thats not red tape its a red flag the cars where beign towed from a repair shop pick up the red flag is if there are no red lights or running lights to leave on as a warning or there is not end of train devise

[LS11565]

it is a movement to the repair shops

[EMILCEPEDA2012]

very strange.... i think the red tape on the back was to act as the cab car

[jdgator95]

Nice catch!

[at90percent]

Most likely, out of commission passenger cars being pulled by a standard freight train locomotive.

I noticed red tape on the back of the last car with the wide open passenger walk-through door.

Probably just being towed for repair or junk.

[CommuterColin0906]

what in the world is that?

[tpirman1982]

That's what I wanna know.

[gp40mc]

Cool! Like you said this train is probably not for general passenger use because it is not set up for push-pull use. It does not have a cab car at the end.

[tpirman1982]

Well, I'm learning that these train engines can be run forwards and backwards, depending on which way to be driven.

[theshugchannel]

@tpirman1982 it looks like an equipment move

[Tcostello105]

3 weeks ago i saw that locomotive on the franklin line

[amtrak905]

This is the Readville switcher, it was bringing cars from Readville yard into South Hampton

[ztigerpaw250]

Wow. Odd combo...

[sieman700]

[tpirman1982]
