[@jamesbowling7215]

Why are there only 4 f40ph-2

[@BostonByRails]

They are being rebuilt into F40PH-3’s (ex 1028 the other locomotive)

[@jaydenlugo1467]

That gets the stuff like food or sand and stuff to bring to work something like that

[@nickk7425]

Are these trains getting fazed out or something??

[@truedarklander]

Now why is a commuter system hauling stones is a question that I didn't know I'd ask myself

[@Readvilleswitcher]
