A few B39s will be leaving

Sir, it is very generous of you to do this level of research and reply, especially to a community that doesn't have near the importance of shareholders, customers, and regulators. Thank you for your interest and information.

I am more than happy to assist any one in understanding more about this industry. The community of the "Students of the Industry" are a valuable asset.

Per Mr. Bruce Mercer of the LocoNotes discussion group, five MMA B39-8s have left the property and are presently at CP's Toronto Yard. A trace report reveals their numbers and destinations:

> MMA 8522 235-25 CHICAGO IL

> MMA 8536 235-25 CHICAGO IL

> MMA 8539 235-25 DANSVILLE NY

> MMA 8548 235-25 DANSVILLE NY

> MMA 8560 235-25 DANSVILLE NY

Iowa Pacific purchased these units. Their eventual destination is most likely the Arizona operation.

Mr. Tancula, I meant to ask you a question regarding the C30s and C36s that you dealt with in Estonia. You mentioned that GE BrightStar systems were installed in those units. 1) Is that what was installed in the MMA #3000? 2) Approximately how much does it cost per locomotive (including installation)?

Thanks!

MMA #3000 has an adhesion system from Quantum engineering http://www.qei.biz which is a GE version not shown on the web page, but similar to the Trainmaster system.

Cost is like lobster-market price! Expect to spend $30,000 for such systems plus installation. The installation cost on #3000 was more expensive than a simple retrofit because the unit had suffered an electrical fire, which required significant rewiring.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the news!
