[quote user="daveklepper"] I suspect the single change at La Junta came into effect with the Ripley power, the modern 4-6-4's and 4-8-4's, and that possibly four locomotives were required just before these came on line, with mostly 4-6-2's doing the job.  Anyone know? And what about the UP? I know a lot of through NYC trains still swapped at Collingwood or Buffalo, even though the Century ran through (with a Niagra at the end of steam) Harmon - Chicago.     Ditto PRR at Crestline. the latter usualy including the Broadway. [/quote] Did the PRR change all the steam locomotives on the Harrisburg to Chicago passenger runs at Crestline? Also, after the PRR bought diesel electrics for its passenger trains, did it immediately run them through to Chicago from Harrisburg or did it change them out somewhere along the route as was the assumed practice with steam locomotives?
