Never been a fan of the GG1's and I do not know much about them. But I do have a question.
What are they "topping off" in the cab chatter? Window washing fluid?
Steam generator was diesel.
Thank You,
Actually, I believe the GG1's that had Steam Generators, had Boilers to produce the steam not diesel. Sorry to be so anal about that. The original diesels used in Passenger service had Boilers for steam generation. Diesel HEP, came about in the late 1950's and took complete hold during he early Amtrak era.

Not exactly GREENRAIL. The "boilers", i.e. steam generators were indeed fueled/fired by diesel fuel. The GG1s had to have boiler water supply tanks PLUS diesel fuel tanks.
