Hey David, what type of DMU is that? I havent seen one like thta or that color scheme before.
Hi Shane. It is a Class 142 Pacer in BR Provincial colours. The real one must have been cheap to build, because they were uncomfortable to travel on and they rode on the rails like a 'nodding donkey', hence its nickname.
Unit 142049 was sent to Vancouver, Canada for Expo 86. The unit retained its Regional Railways livery and ran three trips a day all summer from Abbotsford to New Westminster. In order to operate on Canadian rails, it was equipped with radio and ditch lights, and given the designation RB100 for radio identification.
Here is a picture of one the day it was withdrawn (to the delight of many).

gmpullman John-NYBW Do you know which type of loco pulled RFK's funeral train from New York to Washington? Yes, they were both shiny, black GG1s. 4901 in the lead and 4903 assisting with the 21-car train. Penn-Central was only four months old. I was once in the Pennsylvania 120 the PRR business car that carried his coffin. It was under private ownership, George Pins, at the time. http://lahey_crockett.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=5325319 Cheers, Ed

That's surprising. The clip I watched didn't appear to be GG1s. Is there any reason they would have switched power in route? I'm wondering if they used stock footage in lieu of actual footage of the train. It wouldn't be the first time something like that was done. There is a famous radio broadcast from JFK's assassination which begins with the reporter saying, "It appears something has happened in the motorcade route...". It was very dramatic. It was also completely bogus. A radio reporter created it in his studio the next day based on what had been reported. He was fired for that breech of journalistic ethics. Those used to exist. Even though the recording was bogus, it is still used in documentaries about the assassination.
One of the amazing things about that train is that most of the photos and films were taken from the train at the crowds gathered along the route. There was hardly anyplace from New York to Washington when there weren't lots of people gathered.

I suppose one would have to be familiar with PRR electric locomotive timelines to spot anything amiss here. The "new" Metroliner (1968) wouldn't have been seen while a DD1 or P5a was still on the main line, but, there it is

Nevermind that this loco had been scrapped years before my 1956 time period. When you're a freelancer, you can invent any excuse you like to run something that doesn't fit the time or locale of your layout.
