It looked like one of the F40's went by the other day on the pvl. It was dark out at the time, but I'm pretty sure it was an F40. So it appears the two remaining ones roll on.

The FH's are living on borrowed time (and i believe were schedule for retirement in 2009?) by comparison.The GP40FHs were due for retirement by 2006 with the delivery of the PL42s (the first five units that were converted into MP20 switchers were retired then).

There's a few more scattered around the property that will not, in all likelihood, ever run again.
