Unless they are somehow missing out on 670 which is part of the ECP Brake train. I am not sure if that train is still in service at the moment. It was supposed to be undergoing a years worth of on the road live testing.

Still waiting for an authoritative report around here if 601 and/or 627 will be returned to service.
