That's the Red Line's diesel locomotive being sent out for overhaul so it will actually be operable next winter.

You'd think that was some 1940's antique junker with the condition it's in, but no...they ordered it brand new in 1987 specifically for the rapid transit division.

No idea the last time it actually left Cabot Yard to do real grunt work. It's either been inoperable or very inconsistently operable for years.

I'm going to take a guess and say it's headed to Seaview's shop for overhaul?
