I found some information online that K4's and GG1's pulled Southern Crescent Limited from Washington DC to New York.  I assume that K4's pulled the Crescent Limited during it's existence?  Then I assume from what I read that both K4's and GG1's pulled the train when it was later renamed the Southern Crescent in the later 1930's - 1940's.  

If I were to model this, which GG1 would you recommend I use?  I know their several paint schemes for the GG1 but I was not sure which one would be the right one per say.  I assume going with the GG1 with the Brunswick green paint with 5 pinstripes but I know there is another paint scheme with one stripe.

This is probably opinionated question, but what manfacture would you go with for the GG1 along with Southern Passanger cars?  Would you choose MTH's GG1 or Lionel's VisionLine GG1?  

The GG1's were green until starting January,1952.  Also the 8-inch single yellow stripe started in 1955.  So it would be a green five stripe for sure.

But the one real difference is that in 1941 the lettering was changed to PRR's standard "Clarendon" font from the original San-serif Futura.
