It should, since they can now leave them cold unless needed for the train.

Is there an estimated time period for the diesel actually arriving to either Antonito or Chama? Curious how much work will be needed before it will be ready for service.

The diesel should arrive mid-summer. It will be shipped by barge down to Washington State then placed on a depressed-center flat car for the trip to Antonito where it will be unloaded and prepped for service.
