That is a really sharp looking locomotive, imo! And it's nice to see something made in the USA for a change!

Less than three months. If I were a betting man, I'd even say less than a month, but that might be wishful thinking.

The first MP36 was in service (well sort of). Train P845 this morning had MARC 12 coupled up with MARC 58. I'm guessing they're doing in revenue testing similar to what GO did before they put them into revenue service by themselves. I don't know how many of are in Maryland right now, but I guess they'll enter service within the coming weeks.
