Joe Gates General Actually, this is not a new locomotive. It was built for UTA, but then sold to MBTA. 12/30/2010 3:03:44 PM
Maddie Farnsworth General You are correct, however, it's still new within the last year or so. Kinda like buying a car with only 10,000 miles on it. Pretty much brand new. 12/30/2010 3:07:28 PM
Northern Snowman General I'd call it basically new too, I don't think UTA ever started it up after taking delivery of it. 12/30/2010 6:51:11 PM
Billy Stone General Thanks for posting it us up here in MBTA country are awaiting it's arrival!! 12/30/2010 8:54:03 PM
Billy Stone General Now the question is what was the UTA number before MBTA took it?? 12/30/2010 9:03:35 PM
MEC 407 General Isn't this an MP36, not an MP40? 12/30/2010 9:17:21 PM
Sean Graham-White General Type is MP36PH-3C -- GO Transit is the only RR to acquire the MP40 12/30/2010 9:18:38 PM
Joe Gates General Billy- it was built as UTA 13. 12/30/2010 11:48:57 PM
William Sweeney General Not bad....i like the yellow stripes on the plow. The 0 in front will take some getting used to. 12/31/2010 1:38:45 AM
Christopher Kelliher General Beautiful!! 12/31/2010 8:34:26 AM
Jonelle DeFelice General You know, this isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be!! Though I was hoping the paint would be more like the old "easter egg" cab units of old... l;ooking foward to maybe catching it here on home rails! 1/1/2011 12:16:27 PM
Billy Stone General Thanks Joe and Matt. Be on the look out MBTA 011 will be coming too 1/1/2011 9:58:39 PM
