The MP36s weigh so much that I think that weight would bounce right off. :wink:

409 arrived at Western Ave. on Mon afternoon. No I don't know when it'll turn a wheel.

Two or three mornings ago I saw 409 pushing a MILW district train past Western Ave toward CUS. Not sure of the train number, but was making good speed.

Though not exactly roaming, more like sitting :wink:, 409 was the protect engine down at the north side of CUS today.

409 is now back on RI. It ran today on trains 505, 513, 519, and 705.

I wonder if the 409 was run at top speed on its first trip past the derailment site, or run slowly through the area by a cautious engineer, you know, just in case... :wink:
