QUOTE: Originally posted by oltmannd This kinda reminds me of when the GG1s took over the Metroliner service when the original MUs went back to GE for rebuilding. The usual consist was a G, a power car and 3 Amfleet. Later, after the Metroliner MUs came back and failed (and were demoted to the Harrisburg Line) and the AEM7s were purchased, the Metroliners were AEM7s and Amfleet (60 seat arragement). Over time, most grew to 6 cars and still managed 3 hours from Wa***o NYP. Here's one of the GG1 pinch-hits http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=88769 ..and another http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=119098
