The following table is the quick and dirty summary of the current status of each loco in work. More details about each loco can be found in the narrative on the next page. The notation "Test Convert" means to convert the loco with a temporary decoder and then test at LAMRS. If the loco tests well, then replace the test decoder with a better decoder if needed.
