GP40-MC Overhaul

1117 shouldn't have ever been taken out of service, as it was rebuilt before, and 1130 should've got the In-House rebuild.

HEP issues can come from coaches as well. If the (HEP) engine completely shuts down, it's likely the engine. If it keeps cutting out and dropping to low idle, there's a good chance it's a fault somewhere else on the train. A particularly knowledgeable crew will be able to tell the difference.

1117 is completed in "Big T" paint.

I like how we've gone through 4 full-scale rochester GP40MC rebuilds so far and we're just now getting to the new scheme

Ahem, calendar check...

Bro april fools can be so annoying sometimes. My friend dragged his whole family out to the train station to see some supposed portland extra my friend claimed was coming.

Not a joke, but actually reported.

If this is true, then WOW, I cannot wait to see that. Where is it atm?

The 1117 is in phase 2, lightning.

Where was that photo taken?

Rochester, the 1117 is currently in Readville with the 1029 and 5 new Rotems.

That photo was next to the rochester shop next to the dead liners just sitting there in storage.

expect a surprise out of Area 52 soon

What kind of "surprise"?

Things might “look” a little different… that’s all I’ll say.
