The 1118 is performing okay tonight...so far!
BTW, the 1063 is behaving real badly on the
Southside. Yesterday and today. So expect them
to foist it on the Northside soon!
Coach 616 is also being prepped to go out for
repairs..

roadswitcher modifications project. Not a peep has
been heard since. I imagine they will get the top-deck
treatment while they are out there.
The 1063, I hear, has "excessive" wheel slip problems.
My moles down south tell me it barely got off the
platform at S.Station last night, backed in, then made
it as far as Readville. Tonight they made it to Back Bay.
Or vise-versa. Heck, the 1067 was getting lonely out
back at BET!
