Golden state diesels

[gabby]

I have a few cars here of various makes that make up a reasonable (SP) Golden State train consist. Don't have any diesels to pull it though

Does anyone know if they ever used the daylight diesels to pull it. It was in partnership with Rock Island when it ran

Did a google search but couldn't come up with anything definitive on the subject

They used E7 diesels in a GS livery it would seem (http://espee.railfan.net/golden-state.html), but this was very shortlived and they were repainted into the Daylight scheme only a couple of years later. Can't help you after that!

Thanks for the info mate that really helped. Appears to be OK to use Daylight diesels for power
