Passenger Trains > MBTA Places 1st of New Fuel Efficient Locos in ServiceDate: 04/17/14 09:16 MBTA Places 1st of New Fuel Efficient Locos in Service Author: Red From Progressive Railroading Online, this morning--Wabtec/MPI MP40-3C units. Are these the ones with the GEVO-12 or the standard EMD 710 prime movers--the article doesn't specify? Most of this model have been coming out lately with EMD 710s, but I forget which of the commute RRs special ordered GE prime movers? Also, no pix. Hoping for some soon?

Completely different model, not related in any way to the MPI MP40PH http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPI_HSP46 Red Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Also, no pix. Hoping for some soon? Plenty of pix, just have to look in the right place, which is to say not Trainorders apparently... http://photos.nerail.org/showpic/?photo=201404170045353602.jpg&order=byrail&page=1&key=MBTA http://www.archboston.org/community/showthread.php?t=1152&page=40 Edited 3 time(s).
