I guess the bottom line is, the only chance the Hippos have is for an NEC commuter operation to pick them up. Caltrain has their AEM-7s for testing, Denver doesn't need locomotives, and they're utterly unsuited to freight. Beyond that, they're razor blades. Even within that, NJT doesn't seem to have a need for more electric locomotives, SEPTA just got new locomotives, SLE may eventually use the M8 but only if they go electric at all, definitely wouldn't be an oddball like the Hippo. That leaves MBTA and MARC. MBTA seems disinterested, and MARC...who knows. At one point they were going to scrap their HHP-8s, but it seems they're keeping them around, but not interested in any additional units. So, again, bottom line, very unlikely that these turn a wheel in revenue service ever again. Did I miss something?
