<p>The minutes of the latest Metrolink Executive Board meeting of 2/5/2018 shed some light on the F125's problems: <br /><a href="http://metrolink.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=415">http://metrolink.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=3&clip_id=415</a></p> <p>As of 2/5/2018 16 F125 are on the property. Further deliveries are halted because of performance concerns. #907 and #908 entered a 1,000 mile shakedown program. The program was extended to 2,500 miles because of different failures.</p> <p>15 locomotives are prepared for conditional acceptence, one arrived with a freeze damage and was sent back.</p> <p>13 Locomotives are in the production facility, 6 carbodies are ready for entry in the production. The last carbody is now being built in Spain.</p> <p>Beside the known problems with urea supply and the load meter Metrolink sees problems with the build quality.</p> <p>It is an interesting read doesn't show Progress Rail in good light.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
