What’s going on with the other units that are being rebuilt in the shop and the ones in testing? Just curious if anyone follows closely on the rebuild process of each unit.

Other than the 1062 and 10, don't know of any others close to getting into the testing phase.
1027, 1034 & 1059 still in Middleboro awaiting shipment.
1061 was testing yesterday [04/21] with 2018 on the Stoughton Line after it had a series of repairs preformed. Currently 8 rebuilds are out of service for various repairs.
Do you know what rebuilds need repairs? I think 1054 broke down today on the Fitchburg if it was still with 1629.
Does anyone have any photos or new about 10 testing or in the shops im curious to see what it will look like
1066 to the Grafton & Upton today for warranty work. Ugh...Heard it had a major malfunction about a week or so ago on the Fitchburg Route.
1057 is still at the G&U as far as I know too...

The 1062 has been reported to been set out for pickup at Erie this week. No confirmation yet.
The three units going to Erie was still at Middleboro last I knew. Don't know what the holdup is.

1057 has returned from G&U and should be on the switcher to BET tonight.
1032 is in testing with 1051 after having work performed on it.

1062 is coming east...Now in Buffalo on Q560...should be in Selkirk overnight.
Two questions here. First, what F40s that have been rebuilt and in service are currently getting repairs done? Second, what other units in the rebuild shops are nearing completion and transitioning to testing?
1026 is awaiting its trip from Middleboro Yard to Readville Yard for Cab Signaling/ACSES testing prior to entering revenue. Due to a series of, events, it’s extra back is delayed indefinitely but should be soon.
The Middleboro Extra yesterday never got out of there? The 1026, 1137, 2002, 1027,1034,1059 all should have left yesterday for Readville. The last three are going back to BET for repairs after being declined by CSX for shipment west. I heard a recrew was called yesterday, but that never happened?
