It was announced recently that at least some of the units went to Rolling Stock Solutions (RSS), a company formed by a former MBTA employee. They will be used in a leased power fleet catering to the commuter rail industry.

Everybody please feel free to do your own research on what units.

Had an unexpected technical question relating to F40PH locomotives come in just today. Seems they never end. Maybe I should be posting the F40PH Q&A in the HRA reference library.

Just to clarify, but none of the MBTA F40's listed in the auction went to RSS. All 13 were cut up in Rochester. The 1008 & 1013 are still for sale. Their condition is questionable.

As I understand it , RSS is acquiring some F40's from LTE.

Dave, Thanks for clarifying that. The information I received was apparently incorrect.
