Our Next Virtual Meeting:
JULY 11, 2026
Boston’s Under-the-Hood Transit Revisited
BSRA member, RollSign contributor and head of the YouTube channel “Boston By Rails”, Nathan Ives will present photos of the behind the scenes Boston railroading in 2026, whilst also explaining the importance of these lesser known trains to the history and future of the MBTA. From equipment moves, to rock salt delivery trains to wire inspection cars, lots of historic pieces of transit past still play an important role in keeping the MBTA running.
NOTE: This meeting will be on the second Saturday of the month, due to the July 4 holiday weekend.
