MBTA Commuter Cars, Graffiti, Misc

A bunch of pics I have taken over the last week. They are all at the Rolsindal Commuter Rail Station on the Needham line:

Graffiti - Ya love it or hate but it is what it is:

 

Without looking at the name of the image why arn't the lights on this moving train?

 

Cool. For some strange reason I like station shots with no people in them.

 

WOW,
That artwork is nice. If that kid applied himself,he could do well in the real world.
I also like that MBTA used an engine on each end. Is this common. NJT only does that when they run out of cab cars. There's talk now of a 10 car double-decker set with ALP 46's on each end. The reason here is 1 ALP can handle only 6 DDers.

 

Steve - I'll try to get you more.

These were taken between Monday and Thursday of this week. Notice anything in common with them all other than subject?

Actualy they only have locos on the outbound end. This keeps sound and smoke out of South Station.

These are from today, April 9th while taking the train outbound to Needham to visit my mother and then inbound to Roslindale.

That turnout leads to the staging area for commuter trains on the Needham line:


Inbound - you can tell because the lights are off:
