Is the "Dead Line" the "its all over for you" line, or just "not working right now" line?

ST214,
1116 was not on the BET 'dead line' this morning so it may be inside the shop.

CRail:

I believe the area is used for engines in need of MAJOR repair. Depending on available funds and the reliability of the other locomotives, they are repaired. The 2 F40s have been there for a very substantial period of time (years at this point).
Note that 1921 is also in that group and as I understand things, it has been retired.
I am sure Dave can provide a better answer to the uses of that area of the BET.

The 1130 & 1008 were in Southampton's S&I area yesterday.

Well I can confirm that 1921 has been retired. Any Idea on when 3247 gets in service?

Was the 1067 on train #632 the other night? Heard that #632 broke down somewhere between Forest Hills & Back Bay.

The 1120 went down for the count tonight. Mericfully, this happened at North Station. Meanwhile, 1069 just gave it up a Stoughton...Hmmm...

saw 1060 on 818 today

Sounds like a rough patch for reliability.

ST214,
1116 is back outside the BET in the "Dead Line" area.

Stephen, 1116 is probabally being stripped for parts just like 1132.

Thanks to ST214, MBTA F40PH-2C 1050, and Stephen for the update.
