With the M1 Fleet gettin smaller and smaller every month, has anybody ever thought of a farewell tour? I wonder if MTA would do one.
I sure would participate.
Mn had the ACMu and now the FL9. . .i think a Budd M1 would be appropriate. they were MTAs first new power right?

Any Insight?

I think the C420 Hi-Ad. trucks (222-229) were the MTA's first new power? As far as an M-1 farewell, they'd probably only fill up a coach or two... The M-3's look the same to the public, and they will be around awhile. MN would do an M-1 farewell tour before LIRR I think.
