awesome havent seen F40 1000 in a while and GP40MC on the other train

[TNT314159]

I've seen old colony coaches on the north side occasionally

[zink444]

is this on the north side

[MainlineProductions1]

Yes. F40's 1000 thru 1017 all stay up north

[zink444]

so they only have 17 f40s

[MainlineProductions1]

Well, sometimes some south side F40's will come up to the north side. I have recently seen 1036 and 1033 at North station.We get all the crappy equiptment up here. Old loud F40's and single level cars. I bet it's a real treat for the north side engineers when they get to drive a newer quieter south side F40.

Yeah, I'm live on the south side, so I get all the nice equipment :)

[go11147]

Did u here there replacing the wealthy f40's with diesel/ electric engines? Pretty soon we'll be getting bad equipment down here!

[go11147]

sorry i meant not wealthy f40's
