Former PRR GG1 4877 |
Description: |
The April, 1983 lineup of GG1's would not be so long for much longer at South Amboy. Former PRR GG-1 4877, repainted in Tuscan Red in 1981, rests second in a line of Gs at the engine terminal. Just 6 months later, "Big Red" would be honored to pull the last run of the GG-1. Sadly, it was not to be as a breakdown forced sister GG-1 4879 to rescue the train. This beautiful GG-1 was preserved (in as-built Brunswick green) along with her sister unit 4879 as part of the United Railroad Historical Society of NJ collection in Boonton, NJ. |
