As it relates to the ACS motors. There have been a number of test runs on the Norristown line within the last week. At least 5 runs.

On 10/15 I saw either a toaster or ALP-44 leading a gel train down the Norristown line.

2301 and 2307 are assigned to two of the three gel trains.

That was quite a few days ago and as far as I'm aware was the last trip for either of those units. 2306 is still at Frazer, pans up, as a spare.

I have heard from a wee birdie that December 1st would be a good day to be along the PH Line if you want to see an AEM-7 running one last time.

Which line would that be?

I suspect that "PT" is what was intended

PH, as in Philadelphia-Harrisburg, as in what the line is called. Just as the Wilmington Line is the PW line, and the Trenton line is the NYP line

So the farewell trip is only going to be a round trip from Paoli to Suburban Station?

Seems they put minimal effort into planning the trip compared to the Blueliner and Budd trips.
