Hi everyone!

[@JoeTheCarGuy728]

I was guessing a PL42AC 4015

[@Davids_Hobbies]

Several of the PL42AC locos have been down the M&E lately.

[@S4b_3r]

Still patiently waiting for 4208 to enter revenue service

[@leorush8171]

It's missing an important component required for the engine to function. Without the replacement, 4208 can't operate.

[@S4b_3r]

@@leorush8171 Ahh I see, do you exactly know what part needs to be replaced?

[@Davids_Hobbies]

Same here! I can't wait for 4208!

[@Davids_Hobbies]

This would make sense as to why 4208 was chosen. Since it was already down for maintenance, rather than just having it sit there for an incredibly long time with nothing being done, just turn it into a heritage unit so the workers can have something to do. LOL

[@leorush8171]

@S4b_3r it's a component within the engine. At the moment, it cannot even operate, let alone provide HEP to a trainset.

[@JoeTheCarGuy728]

on train 851

[@Davids_Hobbies]

yup 851/854 rotation and it also went down the M&E again in the evening. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics at night because I was eating dinner at the time.

[@JoeTheCarGuy728]

Any hornshows?

[@Davids_Hobbies]

I've gotten a few lately buy not from 4120. The engineer on the 851/854 rotation doesn't give horn shows unfortunately. I wish we had Ben back. Or if Mike was put on that rotation, that would be awesome.
