Can't help with your question, but looks like others have done so already. I did see these units in action on the "MARC Railroading-Summer 1994" tape that I got from Pentrex. I visit my kids in Odenton at least twice a year, in fact will be out there Nov. 22 to Dec. 13, in another couple weeks. During the work week I walk down to the Odenton station, get a cup of coffee and sit and watch the commuters dash off to D.C. between 6 and 7 a.m. Also catch the Acela and another fast Amtrac on the center rail during that period. MARC provides F40's (I believe), and the older electric power. What a thrill it would be to see an F9 come around the corner again while I'm there! While I was in charge of the Golden Spike Nat'l Hist. Site some years ago, I had the opportunity to be around UP's F-7 sets. There's no other sound like an A-B-B-A set moving out pulling a long excursion train. <br />Bill, Las Vegas, NV
