STATUS OF THE **BL20-GH** FLEET

The NH McGinnis scheme 126 has parts of the exterior switched out from a MTA scheme BL20, making for contrasting colors.

I'd like to see this - someone make them send it up Waterbury when the branch comes back on the 2nd

I guess that was the engine that led to busing the midday Wassaic yesterday?

My guess. When it was in the yard the engine and HEP was turned on so I wonder what was actually wrong with it.

Not for nothing but that's the HVAC unit and they tend to go bad. That's not so uncommon as the 113 and 115 have primer gray units. Now back to the status of the BL20's and not the pretty colors.

Looks like the (NOT!!) good old days of Penn Central. Stripping one engine parts for another engine. Classy!!

#125 is now on one of the Danbury Mini-Bomb set.

Last Saturday 08/04 the #115 was on the west-end.

The 113 came of the one Danbury shuttle with issues with the 114 taking it's place. The 125 danbury mini was due ICC so that came off being replaced by the 127.
