Love it. To my eyes, it even looks possible - a restored GG1, some leased Amtrak cars, and a great excursion run, even if it had to include a restored generator car to power the GG1.

One of my favorite still shots is of 6060, an ex-CNR Mountain class steam locomotive pulling a string of cylindrical grain hoppers through the mountains on its way back to Alberta from Vancouver in 1986. If that was possible, anything is possible.

Ditch the Amtrak cars and get some PRR cars.

thanks and yes i beleave one day a GG-1 will run the tracks again even if it had to have and Acela or HHP-8 push it or pull it. Yeah i agree PRR cars would have looked better but, i was working with what i had.

Here is another Video of my GG-1and her cars http://s61.photobucket.com/albums/h54/Excelstarship/?action=view&current=GG-1AMfleetcars.flv
