We Have A Visual On The F40C's!

An engineer who works for Amtrak told me today that he saw 4 F40C's at Venice Yard in E. St. Louis, which is the old GM&O yard about 7 miles out of St. Louis. #600 was one of them.

They are still there! YAY!

Quite a few of the F40C's are here in Kansas City at the Mid-America Car Builders. Rumor has it they are being rebuilt for the KCS.

Was able to get a few pics of them here...

The KCS lease thing fell thru.

Nice to know that they're still around. Anyone know anything about their condition, and are they all at the same place or does Helm have them scattered around?

^^JLJ061, nice photos, and it looks like there's a UP E in the background too.

I believe that's what it was, but unfortunately there was no way for me to get any pics of it.

Last Friday, 611 was not parked in its usual spot with 614. Does anyone know where it was?

MBTA is looking for some passenger units - anybody think this is a new life for some C's? They've mostly standardized on F40 and F59's, so that's not much different.

Um, don't take some of our overly imaginitive railfans too seriously. The MBTA roster is pretty deep...if they can ever get the GP40MC's to work right.
