9424/25 is the pair closest to the camera. I believe the other pair is 9426/27, but don't quote me on that.

Why will the Hartford viaduct and the Conn River Bridge still remain single tracked? (I'm having a difficult time following what everyone else is saying :P ) They are separate projects ($$$$$). The Hartford viaduct depends in decisions about I-84's realignment. No point in rebuilding the viaduct no...

One M6 triplet lacking logos and two M2 pairs were on the rear of CSXT Q351 yesterday. Waiting for response on exact car numbers.

9542/9643 was the lead pair of 1538 today. As to be expected, 9643 looks like any other M8 right now. Something tells me they'll never be converted to bar cars, but only time will tell. Any word on when the single cars are supposed to arrive on MN property? (or somehow become married pairs which wou...

Alright everyone, let's get back on topic. I'd imagine the moderators would especially appreciate it ;-). These question are for anyone who has operated, serviced/repaired, or who at the very least works for the railroad: what are the most common problems that have been found recently, and how have ...

To clarify roster information, which locos have been accepted for revenue service and which locos are being tested as of today?

Not that this is so significant, but 9204/05 was on display in New Haven on track 3 for National Train Day today. The pantograph was down the whole time, but yet the emergency lights were still on. How long can their batteries go for before draining?

The last in-service bar car (8667) was placed on 1578 instead of 1574 for the reason Dutch stated. I just found an article on The New York Times that included some pictures from the ride. It's sad that another era has just ended. Here's the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/10/nyregion/at-the-end...

Right. Does the order for 405 cars total still stand or is it 380? I've seen both numbers in a lot of places so I'm not sure which to believe :-P .
