May 2023 has so far been extremely eventful when it comes to Train News, and News in my life as a whole.

Notes:

Phase 1: Sadly, with the four new Chargers here, their time is up. They're both now sitting in the yard alone, soon to be sent away for good.

Phase 2: (NOT TRAIN-RELATED) Doctor Modder wanted me to wing Dixie Kong, so I did. And now I can't help but think that this is just The Wizard of Oz all over again because Flying Monkeys.

Phase 3: TRE 1002 is currently up in Montreal getting work done on it, and very soon is expected to be sent back down to Texas to return to service on TRE.

Phase 4: (NOT TRAIN-RELATED) I'd been wanting to find out what these songs were for months, and only now, I finally have. Two of those songs have also been added to my Mater-National game.

Phase 5: I was able to see Live on Virtual Railfan as Coaster 5006, 5007, 5008, and 5009 made their way through San Juan Capistrano on their way down to Coaster's yard at Stuart Mesa.

Phase 6: The whole crisis with 184 from back in March is no longer so. And now I no longer need to be panicked if either 145 or 130 loses their Heritage Scheme.

Phase 7: (MORE RELATED TO ME THAN TRAINS) If you saw my video back on the 6th, you'd have heard me discuss this. I literally got the role the same day I posted that video.

Phase 8: 3302 is now the second ACE Cab Car after 3307 to be Repainted. Hopefully we'll see it leading soon.

Phase 9: There hadn't been any updates on 206 in a while, and then all of a sudden, on May 1st, it appears running backwards mid-set on a revenue train, and as I said in my video from the 6th, everyone in the GO Transit Discussion Server was overjoyed.

Final Phase: I bet some Urbanists are really happy to see this, but look who isn't...

Also, honorable mention to CSX 1827. It was revealed only after I completed this video.
