MBTA FP-10 1101, which began life as a GM&O F3, propels a Boston-Fitchburg commuter train through Waltham, MA. At this point in its life the 1101 was a little faded, but nine years earlier when the FP-10s were fresh from ICG's Paducah Shops their bright purple and yellow noses inspired the crew nickname "Easter Eggs".
The 70's and 80's were a transition period for the MBTA characterized by an eclectic mix of equipment including Budd RDC's, ex-New Haven stainless steel coaches, and a mix of motive power acquired from various railroads.
