Well almost anything is possible. The Standard steam would have been a k4 or two. But anything may go on the main line between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh to keep the train moving like an M1a or a T1.
Note that since the cars are painted F[leet] O[f] M[odernism], the F.O.M. cars were repainted Tuscan pinstripes before the Tuscan painted E7's came out. To be time/date correct, the f.o.m..fleet at best during early diesels was pulled by as delivered 5 stripe DLGE PRR E7's.

Thanks for the info... as I just posted above, the South Wind ran from Chicago to Louisville, so I think we can rule out the main line. And thanks for the info on the FOM - never heard that term before... I learn new things all the time around here!!! As for being time/date correct, I am not a rivet counter so being a bit out of sync doesn’t upset me too much (I’ve been know to run a string of Gunderson Maxi-stacks behind a BigBoy).
