The former CDOT FL9 2019 was operationally tested on 6/27/09 at Thomaston Shop by RMNE/NAUG. 3-year air brake work and some other FRA inspections will take place, and the unit may head up some regular trains on the Naugy this season.

So, while the FL9 era on Metro-North has ended, a New Haven-painted FL9 may be operating once again on revenue passenger trains in Connecticut this year. Year 49 for this unit...
