Last Train
Title:  Last Train
Description:  Its the "Last Run" of the famous "Snow Train". Head-end brakeman Alan MacMillan gets a broom from the cab, while Trainmaster Lester Stephenson uses a shovel to attempt to get the switch thrown over to allow the power to run around the train for the trip back to Boston. This is not only the last "Snow Train", its also the last passenger train on the Conway Branch on the Boston & Maine.

Help from the B&M
Title:  Help from the B&M
Description:  The winter of 1977/1978 almost crippled the MBTA commuter service. The aging fleet of RDC's just couldn't perform to standards anymore, luckily the B&M stepped in and leased some of their older freight power to the "T" so as to keep things rolling.
