Reply to "Atlas Amtrak CZ Cars ?"

Now that I’ve got a handful of these Amtrak CZ cars, what would be appropriate early Amtrak motive power to pull them? Also, did Amtrak make up trains completely using these cars? Or mix them in trains with other passenger cars?

Jay, E8, F7, even the first F40PH locos in phase 2 paint would be locomotives that pulled these.  Also the SDP40F but that hasn't been made in O.  I use a few of MTHs FP45 units with the front railings removed which sort of creates the look.  

The Amtrak use of the CZ cars would mainly be on western routes mixed with other heritage equipment.   The non dome cars would run in Amtrak consists in the east.  Throw in a few rainbow era GN, BN, NP, or UP cars for the early 70s years.
