Recent repaint of a Connecticut DOT FL9. Glad to see they are maintaining this classic scheme in regular service.

Anywhere.

Do they have dynamic brakes ?

Thank you.

Bob,

I saw a picture awhile back of a new Genesis unit they repainted in the old NH scheme as well, looked awesome.

Thanks, Taylor

I asked about surviving FL9's on another forum recently and got the following list(probably not complete)from various posters.
Morristown & Erie RR - (6)
Metro-North - (9)
ConnDot - (6)
Railroad Museum of New England - (2 or 3)
Danbury Railroad Museum - (1 or 2)
Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley RR - (2)
Adirondack Scenic Railroad - (4 for parts)
Connecticutt Railroad Museum - (1)
-a shell at a NY area hospital
-possibly some AC rebuilds on Long Island Railroad
Rumor has it that Norfolk Southern leased two of the M&E units recently for a day or so for their cab signal/ATC equipment.

Not a rumor. Fact. 2 days, if not more.
