That's what an emergency on the busiest commuter rail line in the country that makes national news will do...scrape up whatever you can from anyone out there and go. |

Nice catches of the fleet---and I'm surprised that GBTA still has the Phantoms and the Xcelsiors in the fleet---I guess that their TMCs are finally gone. |

Yeah the ones on the hybrids are really dim. I dunno if the signs aren't lit fully or the sign quality just decreases over time, but yeah. On the 'bright side' it is still better than the green flip dot ones. |
