MMA Locomotive Roster Questions

[KSmitty]

I was wondering what changes the MM&A roster has seen, if any, since the MNR took over the state owned lines.

Have any been sold, scrapped, or stored?

The #502 thread seems to have died as well, is it still stored at Derby OOS?

Also, I know this time last year there was a thread kicking around the forums on the topic of ex-CN/MMA SD40-2's. 758 entered service, what happened to the other 4-5 units. Did they wind up scrapped, stripped for parts for Poland, or operating on the MMA?

Thanks!

I don't know what has happened since the takeover as to sale or other disposition of locomotives.

To the best of my knowlege as of the middle of May:

502 is no longer owned by the MM&A.

758 is stored in operating condition and the other four SD-40-2's are stored at Derby in need of heavy repairs.

If 502 has in fact been sold, that is BIG news! Mr. BAR, do you have any more information about that?

[Tom Tancula]

Where do some of you get your information?

502 is still in Derby, stored and owned by MM&A. Two of Rail World's SD40-2 units have been stripped of parts for projects in Europe.

Mr. Tancula, thank you for the clarifications/corrections. Much appreciated.

[KSmitty]

Thanks!

A follow up question if I may,
Are 8569 and 8592 still the only MMA painted units?

[Tom Tancula]

Yes those are the only two in MM&A colors.

758 was active and working Brownville Junction on June 15, 2011.

Thanks for the update on 758 Mr. Joyce.
