For such new equipment, always strikes me as odd that there are a high number of HHP-8s regularly out of service.....

(that usually happens here, all about who you know, lol)There are some pages out that do have that type of info but it's hard to find accurate one's at times. They best way to get a train with an HHP-8 is hope for some luck and follow the advice of others for finding one because some people say they are assigned to some trains and others say they are randomly assignmed, but then again if you are in Philly you shouldn't have that much of a problem. I live up in Bos and have been looking for months of one that happened to be in South station at the time I have been there and had no luck but a friend of my noticed that a certain train had them leading more then an AEM-7 so I decided to set out to the station at the time the train arrived and I finally caught one after a few months of waiting.
