Unless other orders come in, we can pretty much consider this project dead. Everyone says they want modern or modernish locomotives, but the orders haven't yet seem to support that notion with 3rd Rail at least. If Scott could get the orders it would go for sure. Granted the SD40-2 is not exactly modern. I was 2 when it was first catalogued. However, it has had such a long life span like all the -40 series EMDs, I am surprised it has not seen much tractive effort so to speak.
Of course, Amfleet was something I pitched to Scott over 5 years and once the Viewliners were added, it took off and will be delivered by April. Perhaps there is hope? I have preorders in for ATSF in 3r and Conrail in 2r. Might have to add another 3 Rail ATSF one just to get the orders up by at least a little.
