At the P&W Worcester shops last week they were spotted with the names and numbers painted out, so they should be moving West shortly. The first B40-8W BNSF 562 was operating as of Thursday on Worc local WX-1

The units will ship this week to the L&S engine house in Pittston (Coxton) for a good inspection. From there the two running units are coming up to the Lehigh Railway where we actually need them. They will be put to good use running 50 to 100 car trains.

I heard today that the PanAm received them yesterday and they're enroute

This isn't about one of the GP40s, but rather a reply to the rumor heard about the Warbonnet B40-8W being in sad mechanical shape. Today around 5:40pm I saw it headed southbound along 146 just outside of Worcester Yard with some mixed freight and empty coal cars, the only locomotive pulling. Pretty neat to see up here too!

NS misrouted the GP's they left Binghamton on Monday and the crew never set them off in Elmira. They now sit in Enola waiting to be sent back north.

^Surprise!
