The 159 moved under its own power to 8. It is pretty much operational but borrowed from heavily. Half of the control stand is missing. plus bells, horns , spedos, etc.....
Cost is the main factor in sending units to PW for work, PW did 2 units for the price of one LIRR wanted, plus in my opinion LIRR cant fix anything right anyway. PW has a modern freight engine shop with alot more experience than LIRR handling that kind of work.
