The management team wasted no time in getting the inspection reports completed on A.P.R.R. engines #305 & #306.
1/87th Senior Engineer Ed for Life has detailed the following final report:

SUBJECT: Ready for Revenue Service Report EMO GP38-2 #305, #306
ATTN: A.P.R.R. Superintendent of Operations

Sir Neal,
Be advised that full inspections of EMO locomotives GP38-2 #305 and #306 have been duly conducted as per applicable A.P.R.R. regulations on March 10, 2018.
Both locomotives have been inspected and tested in all 24 categories of inspect ion areas as outlined in the A.P.R.R. Ready for Revenue Service Report including but limited to power plant, drive, electrical, hydraulic, communications and all mechanical systems. Effective this date both locomotives are hereby certified as Ready for Service.
A copy of each inspection report is attached and had been electronically forwarded to the appropriate A.P.R.R departments.
Note the following exception:
Each locomotive is required to adhere to EMD's Initial Revenue Service break-in period mandating the change out of specified break-in fluids as well as testing and adjustment of specific locomotive systems and/or components as outlined in EMD's guidelines.
Engineer for Life and A.P.R.R. Chief Inspection Superintendent,
(Signed electronically)
These engines are now ready for revenue service. Look for them in action on upcoming blog posts!
Wow, duly noted and well documented! If E.E. and the BLE give their blessings, your well assured the locomotives are ready for service. Nicely done post! Where did you find that BLE inspection form? Very cool!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the 305 and 306 are ready for revenue service! Nice job by EE giving them a thorough inspection.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find that form!?
ReplyDeleteRegards the form, I just did a Google search on Locomotive Inspection Report. This specific one I found on the link below. It came as a pdf so I opened it using a pdf editor and inserted the info and check marks. Actually, the PDFs editor was an online tool that was easy to use.
ReplyDeleteBut please note. I have just signed an extremely lucrative 20 year retainer contract with the CEO of the A.P.R.R to be the sole provider of all inspection services for all their new rolling stock. However, I am open to subcontracting some portion of this contract. If anyone is interested in a piece of this inspection service money tree please forward a certified check in the amount of $5000 as a good faith gesture to the CEO of the HRC and your interest will be taken under advisement.
