They are, however, in a push/pull setup with GP-7's and FP-10's providing HEP. Additionally, some of the RDC came from the New Haven, B&O, PC, Reading and Canadian Pacific. Many of the Reading cars still having Reading lettering on them so it is not unusual to see an ex-BN GP-7 still in BN green pulling Boston & Maine and Reading Budd's at the same time. ---peter osgood---
