[quote user="restorator"] (That was supposed to read "between" 1961 and 1973. I fixed it.) The most notable things I know of that happened was the end of roofwalks on new cars in 66?, and the Penn Central merger in 68 and bankruptcy in 70 although it still existed as a railroad. The later years also have the possibility to go wild with heavy weathering to depict the really rundown state of railroads at that time...   <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] I would go with late December, 1963. GP7, GP9, GP18, GP20, GP30, GP35 are all valid for this date.  SD7, SD9, SD18 (good luck finding one...but do complain loudly to every manufacturer you can see to make a C&O/Chessie SD18 with RSD5 trucks), SD24 are valid.     All models of Alco 4 axel Road Switchers are valid (RS-36 ended production in 1963). All 6 Axel Alco Road switchers likely valid choices (RSD-15 ended production in 1960). You have 3 Alco Century locomotives that were produced starting in 1963. A couple of GE locomotives.   Plus center and end cab switchers from all three companies.  Probably some Baldwins and F-Ms as well... Plenty of options if you dont want to run A-B...sets of Cab road units. Plus you can play the song if people ask you what year you are modeling....its win-win.
