Hi. Unfortunately no reliable sources have published information regarding the new locomotives. Until such information is published, the roster must stay the way it is, period. I know for the most part that you are right (except that they are 2009s not 2010s), but my hands are tied. Grk1011 (talk) 18:20, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

It's not considered reliable in terms of Wikipedia because it is maintained by some random person, see WP:SPS. I do agree however that the site is extremely reliable for the average person as I believe the person who owns it is somehow associated with the T. Someone added the link to the page, but I left it because I know of its value. It cannot, however, be used as a source. I'm surprised that no newspapers have posted anything about these new locomotives as we have now seen pictures and know that at least one locomotive is now enroute (according to railroad.net).

I did notice that I was wrong with 2007 as the UTA site I had sourced the year to was only talking about locomotives 1-11 which are in service and not the ones in question even though they are identical in terms of specifications. Grk1011 (talk) 23:11, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. I'm still at a loss to figure out why there aren't any sources yet. I suppose when the locomotive as at the BET, they will realize something is up and we will get some info. Grk1011 (talk) 00:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
