F40PH-3C overhaul program

1069 revenue testing, passed cab signaling/ptc testing yesterday

It has been confirmed that 1069 entered service

I saw a pristine MBTA 1069 hauling a Providence train at Canton Jct just before 2pm Tuesday 6/21/22.

1058 at BET for traction motor replacement. Will return to Rochester for testing once work is completed.

MBTX 1027, 1034, 1055, and 1059 passed the Fairport live cam being hauled westbound in train CSX M363-21 (Selkirk to Avon IN) at 1352 Tuesday 6/21/22.

Welp, this leaves only 4 more remaining to be rebuilt which are 1030, 1036, 1071, and 1072. No more iconic F40 with steel bells

MBTX 1056 has been received in interchange in Erie.

1062 was sitting at readville yard as of last Friday. Unsure if it has been cab signaling testing this week. Haven’t seen 1052 there yet. Assuming it’s in Rochester getting acceptance testing done.

1062 ran through Cab Signaling/PTC testing and failed. Having work done at readville prior to being tested again.

1056 in Selkirk today

Perhaps this is 1056 at Chester MA being towed to Framingham by CSX M436 at 0833 Saturday 7/9/22?

Has anyone seen if 1052 or 1058 made it to Rochester for acceptance testing?

1058 is at BET. 1062 is to do it's cab signal test South tomorrow.

Has a traction motor failure after a lock up during a 40 mph emergency brake test in Rochester. It was raining that day. Not sure on specifics
