I also recieved some information that 4218 was in the shop getting new traction motors. Seems 4201 and 4218 arent quite done yet.Will be happy to get 75-80 more miles out of them!

The rest I think were also hauled away for scrapping.Based on the NERail photographic evidence, the thieves helped themselves to the number boards from the F40's a long time ago.
The MU numbers keep dropping. the trend of stored trains in NYP has shifted in the last week from MUs to MLVs or EPP sets. The end is drawing near for these cars.

The rest I think were also hauled away for scrapping.Speaking of Arrows, I saw a set of 6 or 8 of them parked on the spur track off of QUEEN interlocking today. Were these separated from a Garwood set, or are they the latest batch of bad actors?
