The F7's pull a consist of LGB streamliner cars. The streamliners are also pulled by a LGB Amtrak Genesis locomotive (LGB 21490) following the fun cross country trip aboard the Amtrak Southwest Chief when we brought Mom back to CA from VA.
During
Thanksgiving weekend 2016, we packed up the Grandkids,
drove to Williams, AZ and rode the Polar Express aboard the Grand
Canyon Railway. Shortly thereafter I won a Great Trains F40PH in a train
club raffle. BridgeMasters carried some Great Trains passenger cars
with various road names but that didn't matter. Stan Cedarleaf made some
custom decals and his friend, Anthony who worked closely with the GCR
and was quite familiar with their gold/red/silver color scheme painted
the train. It is now marked as GCR Engine 237. It should provide years of
enjoyment with the Grandkids as a reminder of all the fun we had on the
Polar Express.
