REAL FRONT CAB VIEW, with a rare sight of a Breda on the T Third!
I really thought this will never happen anymore, ever since the Breda fleet has been a bit more inactive than before with making almost no appearances on weekends, and reduced number of cars out in service on weekdays, but it did! Eventually, block 9220 was supposed to be assigned a LRV4 #2048 to be in service, but for some reason they were not able to get that train set running, so this operator took a Breda out instead!
However, around 1pm this Breda train was reported stalling at Revere, and unable to continue service, so it switched back at Armstrong and back to the yard. Instead, later on #2120 replaced the Breda to be continued in service. I was glad that I rode this train right before it broke down, towards Chinatown! Notice that this train has scroll signs on both ends, allowing us to see the "Chinatown Station" scroll sign for once more!
