PRR GP-9s on N&W late 50s

[NW Modeling List]

Folks,

I have found the resource of the Pennsy Geeps as promised. The title of the book is "Norfolk and Western Diesel's Last Conquest" by William E. Warren. There are some nice action photos in the book with the Pennsy units trailing and in the lead.

Number series was 7200 to 7229 with the long hood as forward (no dual control stands)

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.

 Jim

 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.
