F40PH-3C overhaul program

I heard something over my scanner earlier. Something about a train on track 13 at South Sta having its alarm going off with it potentially having something to do with the engine. It seemed like it was a doubleheader too. Was this 1033/1029 testing & failing?

1033 is assigned south, so it might have been that with another engine. 1029 is still in testing which it isn’t likely it. They would never test 2 rebuilt as a doubleheader together. It’s one with an older in service loco.

I didn't mean 1033/1029 as in coupled together, rather 1033 OR 1029. Seems like it is 1033 though based on what you said.

1033 is still OOS it is NOT in revenue service. HAS NOT passed its ACSES/PTC and seatbox tests. Hasn't turned a wheel in several days, still sitting in Readville at the bunter plugged into layover ground power

1029 should be at Area 52 with Mass Coastal for set up
