In the first days of a new assignment, Delaware & Hudson PA 18 pulls out of Boston's South Station with an MBTA commuter train bound for Framingham, as one of the MBTA's ex-PRR E8s looks on. The four D&H PAs ran in Boston commuter service from October 1977 to October 1978 under a one-year lease to the power-short MBTA.
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.
