O BTO PRR VISION GG1 #4877
For business travel between New York and Washington,
there was no finer service than the Pennsylvania’s
Congressional and Senator trains. These trains were
re-equipped with all new stainless steel equipment in
1952 offering spacious coach and lounge seating as well
as full dining car service. The two trains, with two matching
consists each, were very similar, with the Congressional
carrying a slightly heavier consist with a twin-unit diner
and extra coach/drawing room car. Leading the trains
of course would be nothing other than a GG1, painted in
Tuscan red to complement the gleaming steel of the cars.
The trains remained popular into the Penn Central era with
much of the equipment surviving to wear Amtrak colors.
These trains will be available from Lionel in our 18″ Aluminum
passenger cars. Separate 4 packs and StationSounds diners are available for both the Congressional and
Senator in classic PRR livery. 4 packs include a lounge,
two coaches and the lounge observation. Additional
two-packs are available to expand the consists. A special
two-pack of shadowlined heavyweight cars is also
available. These cars were painted to match the stainless
steel train and served as substitutes during repairs or as
extra cars on especially busy days. A special two-pack of
