Passenger Trains > Midwest Charger Update

Hiawatha 331/334/335/338/339 has engine 142 north and 4603 south. Engine 148 solo on 390 (axle count sightseer on the rear), 381/382 has 33 solo for the 3rd day straight, 63 solo on 301/304, 351 cancelled out of PNT acct no equipment from 352 yesterday and it's only 10am. Currently 3F and wind chill of -8F. 

Would be interesting to find what the actual failures are.  I assume they have Siemens tech support on site??  They should have more, not sure of the union rules tho.

And their LD Counterparts are gonna be hitting the road soon? Can't wait to hear issues on No. 7 or No. 8 when next winter hits if it's bad or worse than this years!

Easy fix, keep them on the areas it doesn't get that cold for now, chief, sunset, Starlight, Eagle and City of nawlins, also the Florida to DC trains(where it switches to electric)

Your plan doesn’t work for the eagle or chief. I do believe they leave From Chicago and that’s where they’re having all the problems with these locomotives!

True, but hopefully they aren't in great cold long enough for it to be an issue.
