Dual BL20GH's in da Port and other MN Stuff

I dunno, it appears that the Waterbury branch is beating up these BL20GH's so now MN is running 2 of them on the train. It doesn't hurt my feelings since it means the trains will return and it's a better photo op.

 

These are pretty much Bridgeport unless otherwise noted:

That's it for now. Reports of me playing hookey today were a result of being out in the sun and are not completely true :D

Excellent!

 

Man, is the Waterbury treating the BL20GHs that BAD?

 

Wonder what the Danbury been running? P40 all day?

 

Yes, it's been P40 on the Danbury IINM. The problems with the BL20GH's have been referred to as "teething pains" on another forum and aren't viewed as a major problem yet. In a perfect world I guess a new locomotive would perform like a new car would.

 

Nice shots!

 

When did they get that dealie from amtrak?

That's one of the P40's that ConnDOT is leasing from Amtrak. They're old and tired and burn oil like old jalopies. One of them (840) is nicknamed by some "Exxon Valdez".:)

 

Nice Pics my favorites are the 3rd and 5ht pic

 

Thank you!
