Wow this is a serious issue here since nothing has come out for a while. Last one I remember is 1057 coming back. After that, everything paused ever since 1063 went back with warranty repairs. What was the warranty repair that it needed?

Don't know, except there was mention of "issues" in one of the news columns in the current Railpace. No specifics.
I don’t see any articles mentioning what you said. Do you have the link so I can see for myself. Otherwise I won’t be able to believe it as I’m not going to waste my time looking for something that may not exist.
It does exist. A friend is borrowing my issue, so I can't give you a specific page. I think its the Pennsylvania/Ohio column. As far as I know, other than taking a screenshot of the page, there are no on-line links to specific parts of Railpace other than seeing an image of the current cover.
Is any unit coming back anytime soon or is it on standstill until further notice?
So what happened to 1060 and 1065 coming back? They were rebuilt and tested I thought. Is something else wrong with them? The other ones already here seems to work fine.
Obviously it has something to do with the warranty issues recently discovered. And why the 1063 went back. BTW, nothing showing in transit today...so far..
So now we have 1060, 1065, and 1066 already rebuilt to return. Hopefully something comes back soon.
One can only hope.
I heard tonight that the shells/body shipments to Curry Rail to and from Erie are now going by truck. Apparently NS is taking too long to move the cars!

MP36PH=3C's 010 & 011 finally headed to Erie. Left Middleboro June 7th.
One would hope if they're sending more stuff west, they'll also send more stuff east.
I’m pretty sure nothing is going to come west until 1063 gets it’s warranty repairs done so that they can apply them to the following units so that they don’t have to keep sending them back for the same repair over and over again.
