It was late in December 2024.

Soft evening light at the Norfolk, Mass., station on the Franklin Line made for interesting conditions to picture the arriving train. For the last few years, MBTA has been working on completing the second track here. As of a couple of weeks ago, the project remained unfinished.

I could hear the MBTA F40PH-3 from the time it accelerated away from its Walpole, Mass., station stop. Before long the headlight came into view at the east end of the long tangent. I was ready, cameras in hand.
