I was on an EB BROADWAY LTD. CHI-WAS. 13 months into CR. There were fans everywhere taking pictures. Saw power from many railroads. However, PC locomotive had to lead on the old PRR main. My train was powered with a PC lead unit and 3 Amtrak E units because of the SDP40F ban on CR.
At Harrisburg, the train was split into 2 trains, and the handover from diesel to GG1's.
I beleive the SDP ban also caused CR to order SD40-2's with the older pre-Dash 2 truck.
I am thinking of getting a Williams GP9 in CR. Still have memories of that trip.
