On thursday I was in ridgewood and saw both repainted F40s on one of the MN trains. Cool catch! Ridgewood high level project is coming to a close as well!

Obviously CAT can build an engine, but their subsidiary can't rebuild a locomotive.

It would appear that the contract option for 4193 and 4194 (4909 and 4910) has been exercised. 4910 was headed to Kentucky a week before Christmas (photo not mine):

Great...
Those were the only two mildly-good MTA units left.

Dang. Now all I'll ever get is a F40 pretending to be a genesis (the new paintscheme)
  by DutchRailnut
 
the Genesis never had this scheme originally so the statement makes no sence

Interesting. 4193 and 41944 weren't rebuilt that long ago. Outside of cosmetics, this doesn't seem to be that necessary.... anway, what do I know.

probably -3 electonics and paint job, we don't know details on contract other than guesses.

New MNCR P32ACDM scheme, not Amtrak
  by DutchRailnut
 
not just P32acdm but also BL20gh so whats the point, new corporate scheme, not just genesis.

No one cares about the BL20, so people associate it with the Genesis. Not sure why it's such an issue.

I made no issue out of new MTA scheme, someone else did.
cause they did not like it ..
