BOSTON — The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority has placed a newly overhauled locomotive into service wearing the original MBTA paint scheme.
GP40MC No. 1130, a rebuilt ex-Canadian National GP40-2LW, entered service on Tuesday, Oct. 21, wearing the scheme last used by the MBTA more than 20 years ago. It joins F40PH-3C No. 1030, painted to honor the Boston & Maine, one of the commuter operators preceding the MBTA. [see “News photos: MBTA introduces …,” Trains.com, Sept. 9, 2025]. Two additional heritage units will be introduced soon, honoring the New Haven and New York Central. No. 1130 was introduced in a media event Tuesday at Boston’s North Station
Let’s put this one to a vote.
