I have just picked up Walthers B&O GP7P #743 - a Phase 2 torpedo boat with steam generator and painted in the original Blue & Gray passenger scheme. My question is where were they employed and in what service? I am guessing Baltimore, Pittsburgh or Chicago commuter service, but does anyone know for shure? Thank you!
