Dear List Members,

Did Penn Central's GP-20s ever appear on the Northeast Corridor in 

1976?  I model and study freight on the Corridor between Morrisville 

and Waverly, from March to August of 1976.  Thank you.

                                            Sincerely,

                                            James Koo
