[@DebbieSuttle]

This is so awesome just watching this train go back and forth while testing so cool 😊

[@stephankoenig5481]

Its easy to catch them that way!

[@DebbieSuttle]

@stephankoenig5481 yeah it is I agree

[@WH_Railfan84]

Isn’t that good

[@AlikStansberry]

7165 put on an impressive Smokeshow while testing with 1027! Liked the newly painted CSX EMD passing by.

[@MetroNorth203Productions]

1027 tested, 6 more F40s left to go! Which is 1030, 1036, 1055, 1059, 1071, and 1072! Even planned rebuilt of MP36s, 011, and 010!

[@MBTAFAN879]

Can’t wait for 1027 to come to us here in Boston!

[@MbtaVideoClips]

Another F40 otw to Boston soon! Hope they keep this one unrestricted like 1067.

[@F40-RULES]

@ you’re welcome my friend!

[@southmassrailfan]

Any updates with the MP36s?

[@stephankoenig5481]

They were re wrapped for long term storage. I was told they are up for sale.

[@southmassrailfan]

@ I heard that too, no confirmed buyer?

[@stephankoenig5481]

@southmassrailfan None right now.

[@F40-RULES]

So why were they added to the contract to be overhauled if they are getting sold? Makes no sense!

[@easternroutemainlinevideos6823]

Like I said, they were never coming back

[@galaxyrailfanning7860]

Amazing video! Strange that they’ve been testing these without full paint but it definitely looks cool! What time did it test today? Also, any further updates on 2001? Just wondering because I know it should be soon and I want to try to catch it when it leaves. Would you be able to let me know if you see when it’s pushed out or when it leaves?

[@stephankoenig5481]

They have been coming out in the morning hours before noon. 2001 should be ready to go by January 1 unless there are issues. I believe it will be tarped when it goes out.

[@rearspeaker6364]

send 7165 to California, the air is too clean there😂

[@goldeagle1824]

I am not acquainted with this, what are they testing here?

[@TLT_Productions]

these are testing rapid fast now!
