Barring any unexpected and major problems, all three NYS&W SD70M's will
leave VMV Enterprises in Paducah, KY, this Wednesday (May 7).

On Tuesday (May 6), a NYS&W mechanic will be at VMV undergoing training
and orientation on the locomotives.  This will most likely take all day,
and sometime on Wednesday, the engines will be shoved out the gate.  Most
likely, IC's FPF (Fulton,KY-Paducah-Fulton turn) will take the engines to
Fulton, where they will be added to the consist of MECH (Memphis-Chicago).
 Upon arrival in Chicago, the engines will be handed over to NS for
forwarding to Jersey-land.  So, Chicago-area fans can probably expect to
see the eengines this weekend, while fans in Jersey will probably have to
wait until early next week.

If any changes in this schedule develop, I'll post info.
