Units were placed right behind the NS Power.

They had the markings:

MPEX 110 (ex-VRE V10)
MPEX 108 (ex-VRE V08)
MPEX 104 (ex-VRE V04)


NS 18A was the train that brought the MP36's in, looks like 19A is in charge of retrieving the geeps.

Sad to see them go,

There is still one 39 in DC near ivy City in the VRE storage yard. I can't recall the road number tho.

Are there any 39's left on property? I have all except V02, V03, and V09 has having been confirmed as shipped to MPI. It's possible that I missed something somewhere.
Is that correct, or have they been sent off as well. Also, have any of the other units (GP40's and F40's) been removed from VRE property?
