We still have several of your GP35s, but we've put the Geep trucks back on and they've been upgraded to GP35-3 status. We would be willing to part if the price is right. You could in theory go back to the ALCo trucks, as no major modifications were made....

We have 10 on the roster, willing to part with all of them, as we have GP35s from ATSF in the MQTX roster we can pull from. You can have some of them too, but they all have normal trucks, and were built for ATSF, and still painted for them minus an MQTX patch.

who ever had 2 with the alco trucks (if no one has alco trucks ill take whoever has origional gp35s) and the best price

You name your price, then DT&I will fight over it

If you were to take 35s, would you prefer straight 35s or 35-3s?

straight 35s please... i can fix up the alco trucks if you didnt get rid of them yet

Do you wan DTCX to do it? We could have it done in a day since we don't have anything going on.

ok DT&I sure send em up with the bill when they are done, a little extra if they are cleaned and in the primer. ALCO TRUCKS!

Poop. We've got plenty more 35s at Ensel if you ever need them....

OK! Thanks for your patronage Ypsi, the plan is to start at 0600 AM tomorrow and lift them up in the shops and swap the trucks, we have 7 stalls so we can do 7 at a time. At 1000 AM we will begin derating the HP and by 2000 PM they should be ready. They will be sent up Wednesday morning on a Wabash Central train. Crews have already been called for 0530.

ok youre welcome, just 2 GP35s for me tho, not 7

Sounds good, price for each will be 65,000.

good deal

DTCX will be purchasing 30 C39-8's from OLCX in exchange for 30 SD55H's produced by LLCX.

Are there any spare SD55Hs around for lease? The Monon would like to test a pair out on some coal trains, and might consider purchase...

DTCX 753 was returned to Lima about 2 months ago from the WCSR when they decided to buy so there is DTCX 753 and LLCX has 2 demos which are LLCX 5500 and 5501. If you like you can lease 2 from LLCX?

Sure! That works well. We'll lease them for a month. Could you send them, via TSCR, to Hammond?

Sounds good to me!

Since the last update DTCX has purchased some new power:
13 EX-ATSF B23-7's
5 EX-SP SD45T-2's
20 EX-BNSF SD40-2's
4 EX-NREX GP9's
2 EX-NREX C39-8's

DTC Inc. has taken the reporting mark of DTIX for its new venture of railcar leasing.

Can the Monon extend the lease on the demo pair of SD55Hs? The first month went surprisingly fast, and we didn't get to really test them much. I'd like to extend it for another 2 months, ending at the beginning of May.
