Hello, I was wondering if anyone has heard of NPCUs starting to be retired from Cascades service. The majority of Amtrak Cascades trains I've seen in the past month have been the original Talgo sets with two locomotives. One had a P42 and Dash 8, Another had a P42 and a F59PHi, and one I saw on Tuesday had two F59PHis. Anyone know if it's true? It would fit my suspicions that the NPCUs would be replaced by the F59PHis when the new chargers are delivered so there are two locomotives per train. I also saw two NPCUs sitting in Seattle, seemingly in storage. Can anyone confirm that they are being retired? Or are they just out of service for repairs?
Thanks,
Aaron
