CMQ Motive power

I think those are grab irons.

Are these in addition to, or replacing, the GP20Ds?

I haven't heard of any GP20D's leaving but it wouldn't surprise me.

LTEX 2535 made it to Brownville Jct. today.

2561 should be landing in Rotterdam soon off Q632-30

The other three (2525/40/58) are out of LTE and into Willard, Ohio off X353-28
from Lordstown, Ohio

Don't know if the other three got out of Rotterdam.

Nice listing. I knew that MMA 2000, along with the 3603, 3614 and 5078 ended up at
NRE/Silvis late last year.

Have not checked the traces this morning, but I suspect the three units in Willard will
head east on Q384. The 2561 might even be in Rotterdam by now off Q632.

And while I'm at it, its frustrating to see a lack of information about the Derby auction
units. The ones left have been showing waybill reported since late January!

Dave

LTEX 2516,2573,2574 out of Scotia, NY on PAS

LTEX 2525, 2540, 2558 eastbound on CSX Q384-30 in Cleveland

LTEX 2561 on CSX Q632 in Syracuse for Rotterdam

Thanks John! MMA 2006 for some reason was tracing as CMQ 2006. 2000 is no longer on property. CEFX 2019 is on property now and the 18 and 21 are gone. LTEX 2568 is a CF7 not part of the group. Looks pretty good otherwise

New power for CMQ finds their way to Northern Maine Juction via Pan Am services. Coming from Larry's Electric, it's what you see is what you get!
Thanks to Hermon Train Chaser for the clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sHxPP8Hzys" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Looks like two more units headed to CMQ. PRLX SD40T-2 2826 & 2858 reportedly waybilled
to Bangor, Maine. Out of Paducah Shops eastbound on PAL.

Thanks Dave, now do we have all of the units? That makes 30 on property and 2 incoming off of the PAL.

The GP20D's should be going back to CEFX, no?

probably not yet

The GP35s may not look like much, but they sound great and seem to be working well:

It gives you pause when you realize these units are 50 years old.

Indeed! Granted, Santa Fe did extensively rebuild/overhaul them a few times. But the basic platform is solid, no doubt.
