SO - 365 and 6777 are running - 6773 is running but not ready for winter - 6780 (ex800) is being worked on - What is wrong with 6771? - What about the B-unit acquire with 6773?
Sorry this is so late 365 is running 6773 they preferred not to run in the winter because it doesn’t have a hotstart, which is something older locomotives usually need in the winter unless they kept on or stored indoors when not running, but they just kept it on while on the winter train after a couple events occurred. 6777 went down in mid to late October after A small fire happened and that should be up and running, hopefully by the end of July this year 6780 is also still being worked on after they found some more issues and hopefully will also be running by sometime this year 6771 had a major failure in July and probably won’t be operating for a couple years 6871 (the B unit) they haven’t looked at yet and they probably will after they’re done with the 77 and 80
@@TheNorthwestWind Yeah I wish it wasn’t, hopefully 77 and 80 will be back this like they should be, and then there will be four valley owned operating engines running As for the leasers 1419: It has been the more reliable one consistently, but it has had some problems here and there 1443: was a complete wreck and they didn’t even get it fully running until the last week of October and it’s still dirty and seems to spit oil. I think they will be returned probably sometime mid to late this year
