Alcos in Movies

[jr]

N. Todd - Sorry I missed your earlier post on 5-August, that covered NYLE 1013 & the Planes Trains & Automobiles. Didn't intend to duplicate your information, I just missed it, the first time that I scanned the thread.

Atomic Train's "star" was BCR 642, now MWHA 642 in service on the D-L.

Is this now the 2045 or does GVT own more than one M420? I am still not aware of the full GVT roster...

GVT owns only one former BCOL M420 and that's 2045. Checked Alcos NE and they don't mention another M420.

GVT owns 2 M420s. 642 and 645.

The 642 is currently in service in Carthage NY on the MA&N. The 2045 (645) is in Scranton.

Thanks for the information. I've got to go find them both someday.

I realized that when I went back and noticed 645 in BCOL paint and 2045 in GVT, then read one of them was repainted. So yes, my late night mistake.

I've seen quite a few ALCos in Atomic Train..
I think the 'chaser' units were lettered for something like West Rail?
I cant find an accurate picture though. But Yes, 2 pairs of M420Ws were used in Atomic Train.
As for other ALCo Movies, i can't seem think of ones other than what was mentioned.
Cheers.
