Cab car 2410 is out and about from its overhaul.
I don't know which car is next, but only five remain to be done: 2402, 2403, 2404, 2406, and 2409.

It appears at least one set is out of action from my count.Two sets to Trenton, two sets to West Trenton, one set to Wilmington, and two sets to Paoli-Thorndale. Both Trenton sets are 8-car trains, the rest are all 6-car trains, with the MARC cabs making up five of the six cars of one West Trenton set.

Or do the West Trenton sets run through and make return trips out of Elwyn?rcthompson04 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 4:31 am What are the current assignments?

Paoli-Thorndale 1502 (turned and ran to Wilmington usually) and 9553 were push-pull previously. The set would overnight along with the two others at Frazer nightly.One Trenton set parks overnights and weekends at Powelton. The other remains at Trenton.
