Does anyone know the status of WNYP 428(Former Seminole Gulf #550)? It has been a while since any update has been posted. Any pics of it in new paint?

428 has been spotted several times lately, being shuffled about the Lakeville yard. (photos in various posts)
still being worked on..not repainted yet.

Chris posted some pics from August 5 here:

Of Chris' shots, I think my favorite is #12 of 78. It should be entitled " The art of Confusion" The 45 degree short nose shot of the the entire locomotive tells us its #451, #450, #550, & labeled WNYP and Seminole Gulf Raiway. #428 LOL courtesy of the LA&L!

Thanks Greg! The very reason I took that shot with all those numbers and names! It won't last long!

what are the plans for #424 now that #422 has returns to cohocton, and i heard #428 will be ready for service in about month and half,

WNYP 428 is supposedly in the paint shop. I can neither confirm nor deny this at this time.

It was still blue as of last Friday.
I may go over and check on it tomorrow.

As of this morning, it looks like they papered the window on the inside of the cab. So maybe they are painting the inside of the cab first?

I remember when the Lakeville Units came down; they were always beautiful inside. I suspect that's exactly what's being done here.

WNYP 2338 is in Buffalo and should be in Hornell today or tomorrow .This is according to spotters who have report on other groups.

Thumbing through this list it is hard to get specifics:

How are the Ex-NYSW/Cartier Alco's doing?
How many are now in service?

Thanks

Brian,

From what I can deduce (as in not based on field observation) all but three? (the two Demos and one other) are in service. I could be wrong however since I've not been to the Cohocton shops in a long while.

[sarabliss50]

any word, when #428 will make first run on LAL,

Noted on the Yahoo BuffaloLine group is that RRPX 85 is headed to the B&P shops in Butler for traction motor work. Repair time is estimated at two weeks.
