What is the status of VRE power these days? Have all the older units been sold off? Is the operation 100 percent MP36s?

All MP36's now. The last 2 GP40's left the property months ago.
Dang, that's a shame. I would've loved to see one of their EMD F40PH-2 locos. or an EMD RP39-2C in service with those 1956 gallery cars... 
MTA project completion date calculator Take the MTA 's estimate for completion and add 8 years to that.

Ask Cobra, but i don't think they were much fun to operate either
