I stopped by the North Conway yard after some hiking on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to see the new U23B wearing a fresh coat of paint in the roundhouse. It has also been renumbered. It looks like the number is 2820, but it was hard to see.
I got a nice paparazzi style photo: http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo ... 075553.jpg
I briefly spoke to someone there who said that Alco S4 #1055 is also due for a new paint job and was currently prepped for painting. He also said he thought #23, the B23-7, was only going to be used for spare parts. I don't know whether this was accurate or just speculation.. I'd certainly love to see the two GEs operating together.
I know the Alco had a charging problem. If it is getting a fresh paint job now perhaps this has been fixed and #1055 will see some good operating this season. It will be nice to see that again.
