The Alexander Hamilton and the Pine each got two wheelsets replaced, and we did a 92-day on #488.

According to this months railpace it was said that M&E got former CP C424 4204 from CN by way of RRPX. any truth to it.

Since my friend continues to chain smoke nonstop, she is probably an Alco.
Former Amtrak SW1 740 has been scrapped. Ex CP C424 4204 is in transit to the M&E. The locomotive departed Allentown, Pa. on January 10 on NS 38G, for Camden, NJ.
... And went back to Allentown on 39G today. I would guess that it will be brought to Washington on tomorrow's H65, for pickup by H02 on Friday.
