MBTA debuts B&M Locomotive Paint Scheme

The Boston & Maine Railroad Historical Society is thrilled to see the legacy of the Boston and Maine Railroad reflected in the new heritage paint scheme on locomotive 1030. Seeing the Minuteman emblem appear once again in revenue service on the former Boston and Maine System helps to introduce the story of the B&M to new generations. It also serves as a daily reminder to the general public of the Boston and Maine's massive contributions to New England sociology, economy, and culture since the 1830s. It is wonderful to see an accurate historical tribute paid by the modern day stewards of the Route of the Minuteman. We are encouraged by the news of the tribute and the ways it will aid our shared mission to keep this history relevant.
