Converting DM's to DE's.

Neil,

Here I am. Listen the 518 may be back in service before the end of the month. On Friday it was in MP with the engine running and equipped with modified shoe beams.

I don't think its a rumor. In fact its only an idea thats being tossed around since the MTA came out with the budget predictions. So if the railroad has to cut back, then they are looking at the cost of maintaining two locos for one train. AGAIN THIS IS ONLY AN IDEA. THERE HAS BEEN NO FINAL ANSWER ON THIS SUBJECT. I wouldn't want people to start jumping to conclusions.

If that is you Lamont with a new handle, good to hear from you. Good news indeed on 518, now the 503 is the other dilemma that we shot down, and now wonder what EMD will do whether it is a write off or not. Happy you're back. Please give me your email address, as mine is [email protected]
