It was the original 104 that was rebuilt as "new" 101, correct? Date: 05/24/23 13:22 Re: RF&P 101 Author: Notch7 Thanks for posting the nice pic of the 101. In 1973 I was firing Raleigh NC - Richmond on the Silver Star and the Vacationer. RF&P still kept one of the GP7's in Broad Street Station as lead engine protection power should one of the northbound passenger trains come in with a lead engine having bad order sanders, train control, or radio.
