MBTA's first new commuter-rail locomotive in 20 years pulled into South Station this morning

Late, of course. MassDOT Secretary Jeff Mullan snapped its photo.

More photos, video of the two new locomotives undergoing inspections and testing. The T hopes to take delivery on 20 additional new diesels starting in 2013.
