I heard the 1131 is also on its way back, but it is still in the Pennsylvania area.

The 1131 is still in Altoona...
The 1139 is out of Framingham headed to Selkirk today.

The 1122 was delivered 1/21.

The 1131 is still in Altoona.
The 1139 arrived in Altoona today

What is the turn around time on thses units?? I know they say they can turn one of there own engines, in a couple of weeks times.

1122 has been out since mid-November so I guess it takes them an average of about two/three months.

That turnaround time is also probably dependent on whether CSX gets it right with the routing out of Selkirk...

The 1131 was in Enola/Harrisburg, Pa. this weekend on NS 19G...Coming home...

Quick side note, 19G is the westbound Oak Island-Conway train that the units take out to Altoona. When returning, they head east on 16N to Allentown, and then are put on 18G for the final leg of the trip to Oak Island for interchange to CSX.

Hmm... CSX has 1131 waybilled to Newark, NJ

Something doesn't seem right there. The 1131 made it to Selkirk on Q434 today.

I found out why. It's because NS has 1131 waybilled as MBTA 1131 instead of MBTX 1131.

CSX is reporting:

MBTA 1131 departed Harrisburg, PA on NS Jan 27th, 2:02PM

Still outdated info though. I'm surprised the computer didn't update the location for Selkirk since the AEI tag would have been scanned there. (assuming that it has one)

The 1135 left for Altoona 2/18...

The 1125 has been placed for pickup by CSX behind BET...

The 1139 is still in Altoona...

Slighty off topic but saw a notice that the cab doors are all being replaced on the geeps.

CSX just went west with a GP40MC (1125?) at MP 5 at 1:05PM.
