Description: |
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." |

A model of the upcoming Amtrak AEM-7 |
Description: |
The AEM-7 was still under construction, so a model was put on display in South Station. At the time, South Station did not have overhead catenary for electric train operations. This wouldn't start until 2000. Unfortunately, the real 900 would never visit Boston as it was destroyed in the deadly 1987 Chase, MD accident. Ralph L. Phillips photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum. |

The slide mentions MBTA F40PH is on the point of a special train. It doesn't specify what is special, though the F40PH and 300/1300-series commuter coaches were new to the T at that time, it was part of the display. Ralph L. Phillips photo, from the Ralph L.
