Gentlemen, the only things that are not renumbered are the 77 with freeze damage, SIXX 47, and RPRX 78.

NYSW number assignments are as follows:

3660 = RPRX 78 unrenumbered
3662 = QCM 77 unrenumbered OOS
3664 = SIXX 41
3666 = SIXX 45 ex NYSW 6366
3668 = SIXX 47 unrenumbered
3670 = SIXX 43 ex NYSW 6370
3672 = QCM 75 renumbered at Cohocton
3674 = QCM 85 renumbered at Cohocton

i *think* i heard the 3660 calling the signals at CP COLES last night, but I couldn't get down to check it out. Anyone know the status of 3660/77?

3660 is in service and is the former 78. The 77 is still out of service with freeze damage.

My guess is the 77 is parts.

One could always hope not with 78 being numbered 3660 that still leaves a vacant number.I have a question though I remember the Cartier derated their M/C636's to 3200hp how many did they do and are the NYS&W's 3200 or 3600 I think I remember the SusieQ also did this to some of their SD45's
