KCT Geep still in PC paint?

Over on Rail-Video's.com someone posted a clip of a KCT train lead by a former Penn Central still in it's PC/CR Black Paint! The PC logo still visible, though tattered and weather worn... Wow, nearly 40 years later? So, does anyone know anything about the unit? Pictures? Does anyone else find gems like this as fascinating as i do?

Heck yes!  I'm a big Penn Central fan and a member of the Penn Central Railroad Historical Society.  I hope somebody gets a photo up on the forum.

Thumbs Up [tup]

 Here's a link to the videoin question. There also remains a decrepit e-unit somewhere in Ohio in Penn Central paint. I cant remember where exactly i ran across it.

Would this be the PC geep that was at Larry's in McDonald, OH?

The PC E9/8 is in Bellevue, OH. It is on private property.
