How much for the C39-8R's and what was rebuilt on them?
$275,000 a piece. They went through a complete overhaul including electronics upgraded to Evolution Series standards. They are basically brand new.DT&I wrote:How much for the C39-8R's and what was rebuilt on them?
Can you keep DTCX in mind? We may want those...TCtrainguy17 wrote:$275,000 a piece. They went through a complete overhaul including electronics upgraded to Evolution Series standards. They are basically brand new.DT&I wrote:How much for the C39-8R's and what was rebuilt on them?

Trackage rights granted, it's not a busy line so there shouldn't be any problems. When was the Detroit Southern RR formed? I seemed to have missed it.heartlandguy wrote:Can the newly formed Detroit Southern RR have trackage rights on your former B&O line between Midland City and Cincinnati? We'd be running about 2-4 trains a day over your track to terminate in Cincinnati. We could also interchange at Midland City, if you wish...
I haven't posted the thread about it yet. It started in February, and the operation starts on April 1st from Flat Rock, MI to Cincinnati, OH.TCtrainguy17 wrote:Trackage rights granted, it's not a busy line so there shouldn't be any problems.

Sure, we can get right on them whenever they arrive.ES44AH wrote:Ok, if you're ready, we can send some engines to be repaired up the Security Branch to your Hagerstown Shops. We can send them up tomorrow if you want.

They got picked today. We'll let you know when each one gets finished. Also C39-8R lease units 3903-3906, 3910, and 3914 got dropped for interchange.ES44AH wrote:Our ex-WM locomotives are at the interchange on the Security Branch. The consist is made of: BL-2s 81 and 82, F7a #230, 236, and 237, F7b #401, GP9 #25, 26, 31, and GP35 #3579. They are in fair condition, but the GP9s need engine work and #230 needs new motors. We want them to remain in WM colors. #401, #31, and #3579 are in Circus, #236 and 237 have te Fireball, and the rest have Speed lettering. Thanks for the help.

Unfortunatly we aren't able to put in steam generators. But we can add a newer form of HEP instead?ES44AH wrote:I forgot, can you put in steam generators in the F-units? WM took them out shortly before selling them to us.
yeah thats fine, we want them to be used for both freight and commuter service.TCtrainguy17 wrote:Unfortunatly we aren't able to put in steam generators.
