[PRCo] Re: Mod PAT Train

[Bob Rathke]

The locomotive in the photo attached by Mark is a B&O passenger GP7 - it was 
previously used on the B&O's Pittsburgh-Connellsville commuter train until 
it was discontinued in April, 1965 (I rode the last trip).  The GP7 came 
back in the 1970's (painted Chessie yellow) for use on the PAT train, and 
later it was replaced by an F7 that was painted orange and brown.

When PAT discontinued the PATrain train,  I believe that the locomotive and 
cars went to another transit system.
