Pan Am PLED and EDPL

Maybe PAS will do what CSO did - lease a loco from P&W that has working cab signals. P&W 2215 has been working on the Hartford line for at least a couple of months in CSO service.

Does P&W have one they can spare?

(I'm suddenly reminded of the Seinfeld "can't spare a square" episode)

P&W unit heading west towards Deerfield. Can assume for this? lol

The 2010

How many locomotives do they have with cab signals ?

1 that runs - and now banned from Amtrak.

Perhaps that's the issue that had to unit banned, but both are junk.

There's a couple other cab signal units running, but their cab signal systems are busted.

EDPL was OD 1500 and out of the yard about 1715. PW 2010-MEC 519-352-501 and 35 cars. 519 going to PL1. 352 testing swapped traction motors, and 501 trail only.

Went over to Deerfield today hoping to catch EDPL. Crew came on at 1100, but must have found something wrong with the P&W 2010. It went back to the house and did not come back out as of 1600. There is a bunch of highsided TFIX gons on the headpin when it does leave.

That explains why the train came south today instead of the normal Monday run.

EDPL today...

Which PAR unit got banned by Amtrak,did they cycle it to Waterville to get repaired??
Leasing that P+W power has got some expense $$$$

The 352 ran on the first EDPL that ran with the PW 2010, but in the trailing position. So whatever ban was issued still allowed it in the trailing position.
