111 is back on the Waterbury branch.
Not for too long...the 111 was in Harmon today with the 115. Unsure of the current waterbury power.

On Danbury Branch # 128 hit a Pine tree just south of perry Avenue in Norwalk, enough damage to be shopped in Danbury.
other Mini provided for later service, next round trip #126 hit a big tree at route 7 just north of Wilton.
Again lots of Damage.
Tomorrows lineup is a Maxi Bomb and somehere the two engines will head for Stamford to be replaced by two fresher ones.

Two BL20's made it up to Danbury to replaced #126 and #128
For monday service we now got the #112 and #129

The AMMO had the 115 and 112...not the 113

It originally had the 113 anf 115 but 113 was dropped off at Stamford for Danbury service, the 112 came off with a Cab signal issue to be dropped in Harmon.

So the one Danbury mini bomb with the 129 and three cars had another cab car tacked onto the south end and the 111 tacked onto the 129 on the north end making it a micro maxi bomb :wink: . Unsure why the consist changed to what it was, or if anything has changed since this morning.

Ok cab car was off but now #129 set off in Danbury (brake problems)
The two zippers sport the 113 and 111 as power.

127 in Naugy yesterday.
  by FL9AC
 
Because of the issue over the weekend, the 113 and entire trainset was shopped and the 127 trainset off the waterbury was then taken for Danbury service. The other Danbury mini has the 111 I believe. The 110 was seen this afternoon sitting outside the north end of the diesel shop in Harmon with the Giants nose decal removed.
