You won't see her on the main, unless it's a 1-way trip out to Gershow.

9321 is one of the L&I SWs right?

The L&I's 9321 and 9373 have been on the main west of Fresh Pond to LIC and Yard A. They are capable of being the lead unit also, west of Pond. They are a bit slow on the main, but pull like an ox.

I still cant believe they have not fixed that engine(156)! You know Scrap you always said that engine was the best, well she could not hold up on the 50....She met her match in Crimedanch, maybe she was taking some "Special Stuff" from one of the natives.

Seems they got some HOTSHOT young mechanic from Pacific Harbour Lines to volunteer for a mercy mission to Fresh Pond.

Too bad the kid doesn't know that now that he's here.....

Mohammad at Guantanimo stands a better chance than he does of making it back home.

I'm surprised at you Knife Switch. I thought for sure with the reference to the "hot-shot mechanic," a picture of Cooter would have been included!

You let us down this time!

Somebody should give this guy a spray gun! Maybe we can have this rust bucket fleet looking like new soon.

A little update on 156, had a chance to get a closer look at the engine today, so here it is, spedometer re-installed, asc components installed, all parts that were stripped over the 3 years were installed, bell, horns etc... It is starting to look like a unit again, even the interior of the cab is being repainted. Still needs seats, and various airbrake inspections since it sat out so long. Those PHL hot-shots figured out the problem with it in less than a day, while our CMO could not in 3 years LOL. Hopefully the 151 and 156 will roll out together in about a year!

Oh you guys install ASC now. Maybe the hot shot can set up some new leased engines in the future.
