It is quite possible that the 4 SD70s may also be heading to New England. There were rumors of that when the first 4 were sold.

Anything new going on with these cars. Its been a while since they failed the compression test. I was wondering if they came up with a fix and when producion will actually start?

Thanks in advance

Hello all,
I just read in Railpace that the P&W and the VRS are each getting two SD70-M-2s. These are the ex FEC units. I am wondering if this is in fact true or just another wild rumor.

I always thought of spliiting 66/67 at Washington where half the train would go to Newport News as it does today and the other half, to Roanoke, Bristol and Knoxville. I also agree Knoxvill would be the perfect anchor point.

There is a wye just north of WUS near the Ivy City area. The capitol limited gets turned there. They may turn some regional trains there too, but I am not sure about that.

Even if P&W gave him the train for free, I don't see how you can get this thing off the ground for only $3m. If that was possible there'd be a lot more passenger rail services popping up all over America, and they'd all be privately operated. I agree, I think $30 million is a much more realisti...

Maybe he wants to use the P&W's passenger train. Then he would just have to pay rental costs.

South End of D&H I can see. North End is just too damn redundant with NECR. And they're too far along dumping money into NECR. Vermonter, St. Albans-E. Swanton, Connecticut...all that money's been spent, all that work is either underway, committed and about to commence, or wrapping up. That's a...
