The CNWs

Ok, these CNWs are not on a farewell tour. They are
not gonna get patched all at once (UNLESS, all three
crap out and all three get sent to M-19-A at once).
They are currently on MDMSS-31. They will run together
until UP forces them to split up (the only reason for
this is because -9's are not supposed to be assigned
to these trains), or until one crapps out and needs to
visit a shop for a few. Even then, dont count on it
getting patched. Whoever is saying their all gonna get patched at once have no
idea on how a railroad works. I dont think UP would
shop all three units at once just to patch as power is
BADLY NEEDED. ALSO, the ONLY place that patched in the
upper midwest these days in M-19-A Diesel Shop located
approx 4 miles outside Chicago!

Now, if I hear of any bad news, I will let people know
as I may be one of the first to know as I have several
contacts at Proviso.
