MBTA 4261 was the only one of the system's eight ex-PRR E8s to receive this solid gray paint job, earning it the nickname "Gray Ghost". It posed at Boston's South Station while awaiting the evening rush hour. It would be retired within the year.
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.
Not
