Hi Vern, Thanks!
I'm putting the D&RGW body on to the non-powered chassis today and I may add it to my WP consist just for fun. I did see a photo online of a WP powered CZ train (I can't seem to find it again!!!) with ABBA F7's and the second B unit was a D&RGW. I figure a WP B unit had a mechanical issue, so WP borrowed one of D&RGW B units in Salt Lake City to finish the run to Oakland, CA.

Completely believable Scott. I see CSX, NS, and BNSF power on with Amtrak all the time. With PTC controls these days often an engine needs to be added to cover the rest of a trip.

Nice work on the B unit swap too.
