I got some rough news yesterday. It seams that while the train crew was getting ready for Sundays excursion, the #3 traction motor on 664 may have burned up. It seams that oil from the sump that the engine rests in, has leaked in the motor causing it to ground out. Hopefully the ground fault that protects against problems like that tripped in time, before any serious damage happened. She will be moved into the shop for evaluation this weekend.
