I heard mentioned that this unit, now, isn't part of that fleet, might actually have different ownership. This is unconfirmed. Maybe some that knows for sure will post us the answer. Might be parked there like the Cartier units were. #631 or not, we would be interested to know the fate of this unit.

this IS a bit mysterious! 
the engine was actually in Falconer for a time..
why move it to Cohocton if its going to be a WNYP unit?
what is the point of the move to Cohocton?
the only reason I can think of is that maybe Cohocton shops has some sort of equipment that Falconer shops does not have...seems unlikely, but you never know.
the other option is..its *not* destined to be a WNYP unit!
time will tell...
(the above is pure speculation...)

From what I heard from someone in Lakeville is that she had bad brakes and went to the B&H for some other minor work.She was in Hornell for a while which is where she jumb the track and was grounded which is why NS refused to move her to the B&H untill the problem was fixed bad brakes.M630 73 is owned by 636 leaseing last I knew.
