| Post subject: | F40PH Preservation Society |
Today I got junk mail having to do with services for start up businesses the odd thing is it was addressed to the F40PH Preservation Society, now I haven't listed my address anywhere. The only way they could know this is if my incorporation was accepted and my information was put online on the incorporation papers. I ran to my computer went to the mass.gov site and found the F40PH Preservation Society had officially been incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, it is interesting I had to learn this through junk mail and not a official letter from the state. next move will be to file with the IRS 501(c)(3). |

If it's F40s you're looking for, LTEX in Ohio has about 20 of them. Most are hulks, but maybe 6-8 seem complete. All are stenciled 'Chicago' Russ Swinnerton CRHS President |

I reckon I would be interested in chatting about a group like this. The English are VERY good at starting preservation societies aimed at one loco type. Often they will own several locos and have them at different museums/ tourist railways depending on member locations etc. This one is definately worth pursueing BEFORE the F40PH is a lost cause.

With Metra rebuilding its F40PH's they should be around a long time unless the recently publicized pollution issue changes it. On a distantly related note I think there's an F40C at NRE Dixmoor. Steve |

I believe Metra still has two F40C's in occasional use-- maybe in active use right now with the F40PH's undergoing rebuild. |

Now does seem like a good time to start getting these locos together while you can pick and choose. The F40C would seem to me to be a close enough cousin to fit under the umbrella of this group. Not that my opinion counts for much!!! Wes |
