The very first time I rode Amtrak was when my dad took my sister and I on a day-trip from Sturtevant, WI to Chicago and back in 1971 or '72 (I think it was 1971). The southbound train was pulled by an ex-Penn Central F-unit, and while I was only 8 yrs old at the time, I'm quite certain it was either an F7 or an F9 because the grill-work on the side of the chassis wasn't the "chicken wire" seen on an F3, and it was definitely a 4-axle unit. Of course, at the time we didn't have a camera with us and I didn't think to bring my crayons to draw a picture or note-down the engine number or record the composition of the train. I'd love to make a good effort at reproducing the consist on my model railroad. Might anyone have good information on what a typical passenger car consist would've been for the Amtrak Hiawatha service between Milwaukee & Chicago in 1971?
