From official sources:In addition Jim Cook(s) has posted Flickr links to photos taken in the BuffaloLine and LAL_RAIL Yahoo groups of pics of RRPX 85 running in the DFT early in June. Shots taken later this month have seen only 637, 41 and 43 without 85 so maybe they were just test runs.
431 out of service---92 day inspection.
4262 Turbo failure. Replacement turbo on order.
4223 long term OOS. No current plans for restoration
631 prime mover damage, under evaluation. possible piston head, connecting rod and/or ingested valve.
636 main alternator replacement. Replacement on hand, not a high priority.
638 traction motor replacement. Replacement on hand.
RRPX 2338 Long term OOS. No current plans for restoration.

4 Axle Road Locomotives-
#4223 built as A C424 (3000hp to be WNYP#434)
#4228 built as a C424 (3000hp to be WNYP#435)
