B721 did not operate to Everett Thursday. Y101 from Beacon Park went to Everett this morning
and picked up the 1125 on the way back to Beacon Park...

Slighty off topic but saw a notice that the cab doors are all being replaced on the geeps.

Ive noticed that too, every time I walk up to those cab doors on the Geeps at BET they are shiny and new!

1139 made it to Selkirk on yesterday's Q434.

1139 JUST left a little more than a month ago for Altoona...how could it be coming back already?

A HEP swap should be fairly quick, especially in a facility such as Altoona.

The other units that went out there spent a good 3-5 months out there at a time for HEP change-outs.

The 1139 was delivered to BET 2/28 by CSX B721

Let us remember the distinct growl of the original Cummins HEP sets in the Geeps, a sound that many commuter rail fans distinguished them by for 15 years.

Wow.. Selkirk actually sent a locomotive the correct way for once. This is surprising.
