Engine no. 89 is now the Harrisburg protection engine, replacing the 118 which went west yesterday on no. 43 but had cab signal issues so was the second unit on no. 42 today. Apparently both engines 105 and 118 need to go to the shop for correction of their issues. (Need to get them into a"state of good repair"!)

On Train 43(25) the engineer was unable to get AMTK 105 to feed power to all four traction motors, so the "bad Cab Signal" AMTK 118 was added.

But for Train 42(26) the engines would have to be swapped around to put the AMTK 105 in the lead; this was to be done overnight at Pittsburgh.
