Remarks & Notes 
A Boston-Providence commuter train operated by Conrail for the MBTA accelerates away from the stop at Canton Junction, MA. Conrail took over from Penn Central six months earlier and equipment ownership is being transferred to the MBTA, but so far the ex-PC E8 and ex-NH coaches are unchanged.
