Kawasaki Rebuild Program at Alstom

759 and 771 are back home for testing.

759 also back in service after seemingly fast testing on it.

776 will also head out west now, while the 772 has returned for testing.

771 and 772 returned to service yesterday, both on the same set too (the 1822 8 double set).

Amidst all the chaos, 753 and 777 will be headed out to Alstom, wasn't sure if this program was halted for the time being.

Both cars in Lowell this morning and tagged.

760 & 774 arrived at Selkirk today. Coming home.

770 has also returned home, while the 775 will be the next car sent out.

Hopefully, workers are receiving gloves and face masks and/or social distancing, with temperatures being tested when they arrive for work and being counseled to stay at home (with pay) if sick. And if they do have anybody test positive they either shut down or test everybody. This type of manufacturing is presumably considered "essential"

760 back into service Friday. Probably a lot tougher to track down with the reduced service and fewer trains, but we'll see (normally the rebuilds would get slapped onto one of the 8-car or 6-double sets so it would be fairly easy to find them).

768 and the 775 sent on their merry way.

774 back into service today. Down to 20 cars either being rebuilt or awaiting rebuild, with 10 non-rebuilds still in operation.

Although its not a K-Car, MBB 1533 is on the way home. Into Binghamton, NY on NS 14R today.
Was shipped down to Delaware Car, in Bear, DE. October 2019.

778 will be the next car headed out west.

Also means we have nothing down in Delaware for the first time in quite a long time.

770 also back in service today.

756 is the next car on its way out west.
