Is 1118 and 1132 getting the overhaul or will they be scrapped? I saw a video recently of them sitting in the dead line in Rochester (the poster said he had permission to be there but who knows) with the F40s before they sold at auction and those two Geeps looked really rough.

According to NE Transit: In or awaiting major engine repairs at Rochester MA (5 locomotives): 1118, 1125, 1132, 1137-in shop, 1138
No other updates.

The only difference with 1136 is that it does not have led lights and an ebell, especially painted blue like 1137 has. It would surprize me if it started service down south as they are all up north the gp40’s.

No Old Glory? Will it be added later?

The blue dip doesn't look that bad, but for cryin' out loud, just put the number on the cab wall like a normal paint scheme.

(And yes, that's the least substantial, most pointless thing we can complain about today! :-D )

White railings don't stand out as well as the yellow. And that livery makes your locomotive look fat :wink:
