On page 317 of Bud Jeffries book "N&W; Giant of Steam" there is a photo of N&W GP9 735 leading three PRR GP9s 7211,7204, and 7209. N&W leased 30 PRR GP9s from Jan. 1958 through Feb 1959.  Harold Davenport

 There are 4 pix in the N&WHS
 Archives referencing PRR diesels ... 2 of them show 7211 and
 another 7200.  I'm trying to get chose to Genesis
 number 7203.  A 3rd pic shows a 3-unit consist with the
 middle unit being PRR and that's what I'm trying to
 emulate.

 I don’t know about a roster, but I have a
 ledger book that lists them. I doubt any with the train
 phone antenna were sent over.
 
 I’ll try and get a list together in the next
 few days.

 to add a Pennsy GP-9 or 2 to my roster to represent circa
 1957-58 usage on the N&W before the “wave” of GP9s
 arrived.  Is there a roster of leased PRR GP-9s running on
 the N&W at that time?  Would these engines be equipped
 with antenna along the roof or did those stay on the PRR? 
 Athearn/Genesis PRR Geeps are plentiful on ebay in various
 lettering schemes and with/without antenna.
