Re: UTA MP36 Locomotives(010 and 011) Discussion

I saw them both yesterday 011 has 7 car set with one flat and 010 has a 6 bilevel train my guess they both mainly see the NEC and Worcester Needham doesn't transport that many passengers on any run unless a few peak get cancelled or train shortage.

Both 010 and 011 were both on South Side for a short period then one went North which was 011 but I think 011 came South again because the MARC units are holding their own!! ;)

The MBTA is also taking their time with rebuilding the 175 NABI buses that has been going on for about 2 years now. Where as the Midwest Rebuild program is basically done with only 3 buses left and that start around October 2009. But question is how long will the Pullman-Standard cars stay in servic...

I the MARC engines are on like every other or so trains that come or go out the station. Seems like every time I head out to North Station to railfan I spot (whole at time all 3) during the evening peak runs. But the Screamers do still make a appearance especially close to the end of evening peak se...

The remainder of the fleet will go straight to NJ because Colorado only test the first locomotive of it's kind not the entire fleet!!

I remember seeing that somewhere too, I think it was with the M8s if they have to go into the shop once during the testing period the testing miles will have to be reset or something!! But I could be missing a piece. ;)

I'm a bit surprised no weekend trains run to T.F. Green, I mean how often do trains run to Providence on the weekends? Like at least every hour or so? I mean at least send maybe a Am train to T.F. Green like the 6:45 from South Station to Warwick and then maybe the 6:45pm train down there as a home ...
