RE: (erielack) P2k GP7's in Erie

["Andrews, Ted" <Ted.Andrews_@_woolpert.com>]

Hello Erie Listers:

I just joined this Talk-list earlier today. I do have a question about Erie
GP-7's in the black and yellow paint scheme (as per Proto 2000). Did the
Erie use these engines system wide (Chicago to New Jersey) or were they
primarily assigned east of Ohio?

Thank you in advance!

Have them in stock NOW!.  Better hurry, they are in limited supply.
