Any word on this? Also is there a set train everyday or time that I'm likely to find M1s? Sorry in advance...

LOL I think we got your point...
I volunteer at Coney Island Yards with railway preservation. Which means I work on museum cars within the confines of the largest subway yards in the entire nation. We rehabiltate, protect, preserve, and maintain most of New York City Transit Authority's museum fleet.

I realize that genies have those advantages over FL9s, however you compare them to what Jersey and full electrification is capable of, and they simply dont compete in today's market...
Ever wonder why it takes two FL9s to pull 8 cars and one genie? its called HEP
LOL

The FL9s had their time in service, now its Genesis' turn to show what GE can do. With such slow propulsion rates, it isnt going anywhere too soon (pun intended)
