Absurdity
Last one of these....but just had to throw up one other angle in the morning glint due to the utter absurdity of it all and the fact that this is sadly what passes for cool around where I work!
NS 7564 (GE ES40DC blt. Feb. 2006) is sitting on the 'Conrail westbound' track on top of a string of long term hold coaches outside the MBTA Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility better known as BET (Boston Engine Terminal). The big GE has been sitting around for three weeks after arriving on a rail train as seen in this photo: flic.kr/p/2mjgDqx
With the rail train finally empty the 5 AM work train crew is getting ready to take their pair of MBTA units and double to the 7564 and then go pick up the empty rail train. They will deliver all of this back to Pan Am in Lowell and leave the NS unit with it to hold the air and ultimately head back home finally after taking up space and doing nothing in Boston for weeks.
