Hurry up and wait at the signal!
What about the M2s or have they already been retired?

They can't run 4's and 6's as operating ends - so no, the M2's aren't all gone.

Regarding the M-2s, only 8700s left? There haven't been sightings of 8400s/8800s for some time.
Since my friend continues to chain smoke nonstop, she is probably an Alco.
So they can be used in a consist,but can not be on ends,must be in the middle between M-2's?

There might have been another set in revenue service EB @ Milford though that could have been a triplets consist.
RE: the triplets there were at least 2-3 3-car sets parked in the yard @ NHV next to the SLE facility.
