Title: Piedmont Train
Post by: murfling on April 11, 2007, 07:56:55 AM
Hello there;
Anybody from North Carolina that can tell me what is in the equipment set for the Piedmont, AKA Amtrak #73, as run by the NC DOT?  I ahve the model of the F59PHI that Athearn put out, and I would like a semi accurate consist to pull behind it when running it on my layout. The people at NC DOT sent me a few pictures, but they were mostly of the engine, and the cars were like a secondary idea.  I was just wondering if anybody knew.
Thank You,
Jonathan

They have the following equipment:

400201 and 400202 are Heritage style lounge cars
400001 thru 400005 are Heritage style coaches
400301 is a Dome Lounge with 6 wheel trucks
400101 is their latest aquisition a Heritage style combine-baggage/coach

I'll try to figure out how to post diagrams of these cars later.
