machinists on the job

Every day at the MBTA Everett bus facility the Machinists there work on all the major engine and transmission work for all the buses. They repair, rebuild, diagnose and fix a multitude of issues there in order to help keep the fleet maintained and moving.  Here are a few pictures from last week.
