Note also the MBTA-leased GO Transit coach in the background. Ralph L. Phillips photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum. The sign on the side of the Metroliner (under the word "Cafe") reads: "Rebuilt Metroliner. Ten years ago, the Metroliner was the fastest thing on U.S. rails. Today, after more than a million miles without a major overhaul, 34 of the 61 Metroliner cars are being rebuilt at the cost of about $1 million each. This Metroliner Snack Car was rebuilt at GE’s Erie, PA plant." |
