PRR 4860, GG-1, 1965
Title:  PRR 4860, GG-1, 1965
Description:  WIL-ALT-65. Here is an original photo that I took during a trip on Pennsylvania Railroad passenger trains from Wilmington to Altoona on 28 March 1965. Shown here (R to L) are partial views of PRR engine #4860 and PRR MoW tender #999400. #4860 is a GG-1 built in Juniata during December of 1937. #999400 is a former steam locomotive tender that has been relegated to Maintenance-of-Way service. Instead of supplying a steam locomotive with water, it's now filled with fuel oil to replenish the steam-heat boilers in GG-1 electrics ~ like #4860. They are situated on the Locomotive Ready Tracks across from HARRIS Tower, just West of the Harrisburg Passenger Station. Partially visible in the background is the Market Street Bridge.

Title:  CR GG1 4861
Description:  While I took an overall view of the pair of GG1's beginning to roll eastbound, my buddy stayed trackside and received a wave from our host engineer. While waiting for clearance earlier, the engineer invited us up for a great view inside the cab of 4861. By the way, I wonder who drew the cartoon face on the grimy black nose? Photo by permission. Scanned from an 8x10 print.

PRR 4864, GG-1, 1964
Title:  PRR 4864, GG-1, 1964
Description:  Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken near Washington, DC, during September of 1964. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4864, a GG-1 (2-C-C-2) built in Juniata during January of 1938 and rated at 4,620 horsepower. In this context, it has just departed Washington's Union Station with the northbound "Manhattan Limited." This shot also shows the relative ineffectiveness of the PRR's unmanned locomotive washing machines: good for flat sides, less so for curved surfaces. (Tchowee"; #14 of 27)
