<p>[quote user="Electroliner 1935"] The question was and is, How many are now in regular service? And how are they doing? Any issues? Can one make 110 mph in Michigan or do they still use a P42 with them? Does anyone know?[/quote]</p> <p>From the Executives Board's December 5th, 2017 minutes (draft) page 3, §8: <a href="http://www.highspeed-rail.org/Documents/305%20Exec%20Brd%20minutes%20%20-%2012-5-17%20DRAFT.doc">http://www.highspeed-rail.org/Documents/305%20Exec%20Brd%20minutes%20%20-%2012-5-17%20DRAFT.doc</a></p> <p>WSDOT and Caltrans locomotives work in revenue service. All IDOT locomotives (4601 - 4633) have completed burn-in testing at TTCI: Seven are in lead position in revenue service.</p> <p>Quote: <span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><em><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">f) The locomotives stored at TTCI will ship to Chicago, as soon as storage space becomes available. Storage space in Chicago is being freed-up with the re-deployment of P-42 locomotives by Amtrak, and now indicates room for 23 locomotives will be available soon. A shipping plan is in place.</span></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">And regarding 110 mph:</span><em><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;letter-spacing:0.2pt;"> <br /><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><em><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">b) 110 mph hour testing in MI and the Chicago/St. Louis line will take place when all PTC logistics and software are up and in place. There may be a window of opportunity to do this testing this month, or in December, when the UP turns off cab signal in that territory.</span></em></span></span></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;letter-spacing:0.2pt;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Nothing specific about any failures.
