The 470 Railroad Club is proud to announce our latest acquisition. The Mass Bay Transportation Authority has officially donated ex GP18 # 904 to the 470 Railroad Club. The locomotive was built in 1960, and started life as Grand Trunk Western # 4952. The locomotive was rebuilt for SEMTA as the 904 prior to being acquired by MBTA. The locomotive has been out of service for some time and has been vandalized. Initially the club was interested in this locomotive to have parts to maintain our F7s and GP9, however we look forward to partnering with the New Hampshire Northcoast Railroad to attempt to make this unit operational again. Please note, this locomotive is on private property and is not available for public access like our equipment in North Conway is at the time. Thank you for not trespassing , we will keep you up to date with work on 904 via our Facebook page. Thanks to the MBTA for this generous donation as well as CSX for donating the move!
