I went by the yard today. It was nearly night so i couldnt see numbers but does anyone know what locos(I saw at least one GE non -7AB) behind the shop. also there was a GE -8 in the shops. Anyone know what numbers these were?
2201, 2215 is behind the shops.. Inside the shops should be the 3901 and 3902. both OOS. 3901 blew her turbo when shoving an loaded ethanol train out of New London on Sunday afternoon. She is being evaluated in Worcester, so we are not sure what will happen.. .. .. 3902 has ground relay faults, still worked on.
There is talks of 2201 returning to service. They are discussing on "morphing" radiator/cooling system parts from the 2215 to the 2201. 2201's motor is healthy as a beast but just need some TLC in the radiator area.. 2215's components has been gutted.. cab signals removed, etc. Probably will be used as a parts unit, but who knows.
