About this video: On October 14, 2024, I filmed parts of the morning and afternoon rush hour of MBTA and Amtrak trains at Boston, MA’s South Station. There were two trains that stood out on this day, both of which I have posted separate videos about that go more in depth and feature more footage of them. The first notable move of the day featured RSTX 1001, an ex-Amtrak F40PH now classified as an F40PH-4C, being shoved by an MBTA south side yard crew operating MBTA GP40MC-3 1129 and F40PH-3C 1033. Just passed 8:00 AM, they reversed down track 13 at south station with the 1001 at the head end of the shove. The crew positioned the 1001 near the end of the platform before disconnecting their locomotives and continuing south to Middleboro, MA to operate on a dinner train special later in the day. More information surrounding why this locomotive was here on this day can be found in one of my previous videos surrounding this move (    • MBTA Debuts Leased F40PH-4C 1001 at Boston...   ). The other notable train of the day was a dinner train special with MBTA and Mass Coastal equipment operating for the 2024 Commuter Rail Coalition Summit event. The MBTA power was GP40MC-3 1129 and F40PH-3C 1033, as seen earlier in the day on the other equipment move. Mass Coastal provided one of their ex-New Haven FL9 locomotives and 5 of their coaches for operation on this train. More information surrounding this train can be found in another one of my previous videos (    • Rare Consist with Vintage Equipment on a J...   ).
