F40PH-3C overhaul program

1069 will also be headed out to Erie now. I imagine it will join 1025 and 1026 on the trip?

Don't know. No reports of the 1025,1026 out of Middleboro. Nothing east out of Erie that
I've seen.

Haven't seen any posts confirming that 1025-6 left to head west, but yes idk what happened to 1069 but it's joining the head west F40's to be rebuilt. I think they are holding these engines here until some more head back east. I'm on the same boat with you guys i'm not completely sure but it's my opinion of what I think they are doing. Anyone have any word with the 1031 coming out of testing soon? Last heard 1031 and 1061 were in Rochester testing the rebuilt k cars.

1025 and 1026 are out of Massachusetts at this point. 1069 is in the Mansfield/Foxboro area at the moment. Should be picked up by B725 soon.

1035 was out of Erie on a road train yesterday @ 2012ET

[MBTA F40PH-2C 1050]

1035 arrived into Framingham off Q436-19. Maybe traveled on B725 the same night??

[GP40MC1118]

The 1035 is now in Middleboro. Arrived this morning.

The 1069 should be going west to Erie soon.

1069 sitting on Trk 5 in Middleboro awaiting CSX pick up. Mass Coastal picked up the 1035, and the 1810 CC 2/24/20

[GP40MC1118]

1069 left Sunday night on CSX's B726-08.

[GP40MC1118]

Slight diversion here, but HSP46 2002 left Middleboro on March 20 headed for Erie, Pa.
for some sort of, well hopefully, warranty work. Assume Area 52 could not do the work.
Was in Framingham today.

I randomly found this Youtube video which shows the carcass of 1064 sitting on a flatcar in the Erie area.

Wow that carcass is picked clean and in a very tidy way. Are they trying to save the body for a fort or a project?
