PostPosted: Tue Feb 20, 2001 2:59 pm 

I was reported on a website dedicated to Metro North FL9's that Metro North 2033, nee New Haven 2059 the last F unit built by EMD is out of service. Are there anyone working towards the preservation of this engine? What condition is it in? Of any of the FL9's that are to be preserved of have been already this engine is the most historic of them all.

> towards the preservation of this engine?

The short answer is "yes". It was originally promised to a New Haven-oriented group in Oct. 1984, and that group is about to receive it. Be patient, we have been (for 16 years!!).

> What condition is it in?

It was taken out of service in Nov. 1995, and stored. It has since taken a few years to get it "broken loose".

Once it is "on the property" at its new home, the details will be posted as an RyPN Brief.
