#1 has been in testing in Wyoming Yard Service and as a heavy local (up to 4,000 trailing tons). Crews are loving her. We are making a few minor tweaks, and will be made permanent. #2 came out today, and will do testing in heavy yard service up in Alpena.
MNTC electric will be out Sunday, but might be held back a few days to test and correct any kinks found there or by the other two units, then it will be shipped to the MNTC via the CIL
