F45 3636 suffered a significant mechanical failure recently and is currently out of service. This had been the only F45 east of the Mississippi in regular revenue service. Apparnetly, the turbo went, and in a chain of events, the prime mover seized and the engine is no longer running. As far as i know, no determionation has been made as to the future(if any) for this locomotive. on another note, the high hooded SD40, # 3020 should see a return to service in the future. Apparently the repairs it needs are significantly less than the 3636. as usual... stay tuned....
I know I'm getting old... My insurance company sent me only half a calendar this year!
