Mass Bay RRE and the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum present:
Our train will be the Berkshire Scenic’s Budd Rail Diesel Car No. 6126. Built in 1955 for the Boston & Maine Railroad, RDC 6126 was part of the largest single order for RDC's placed with the Budd Company. 6126 worked for the B&M until 1976 when it was transferred to the MBTA and continued to serve the Boston Metropolitan commuter area. In 1989, 6126 was sold into private ownership and worked in tourist service on the Cape Cod Railroad and later in Maine on the Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad. It was purchased by the Berkshire Scenic in 2015 for use on the new Hoosac Valley service between Adams and North Adams. Train capacity is limited to just 80 passengers. Mass Bay RRE members receive discounted fares. See our web site for complete details and membership information. (Mass Bay RRE membership is not necessary to ride this trip.) This event operates ONE DAY ONLY, rain or shine. All sales are final and tickets are not refundable. Alcoholic beverages and smoking will not be permitted aboard this train.

Join members and friends of Mass Bay RRE and the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum as we celebrate the unveiling of the “Calvin Coolidge” locomotive name plate display in the Welcome Coach at the BSRM’s Hoosac Valley Service terminus in Adams, Mass. This name plate, which once graced the flanks of Boston & Maine Class R1c 4-8-2 No. 4110, was recovered and returned to Mass Bay RRE in 2016. BSRM has graciously provided space to display this artifact, which ties together the history of the Railroad Enthusiasts, North Adams and the Boston & Maine Railroad, and these iconic locomotives, among the heaviest Mountain-type locos built for any U.S. railroad. 
As part of the celebration, we’re offering a special excursion to North Adams, departing at11:00 AM. An
