Is the Charger the only power? Thanks for the report.

And then on to Milwaukee?

No, the Charger is behind 2 P42s.

Thanks, I wrote that before the photo was posted.

I got the photos after the initial post.

Back to Beech Grove. Seems like I called the PTC testing and return about 2 weeks ago.

who paid for this movement and the testing?

This might provide a clue as to the possible buyer.

It was paid for by the Charger and Talgo 8 owners.

As stated previously, the testing is required to develop the braking algirytms for the PTC braking curves.
