Glimpse of greatness
Title:  Glimpse of greatness
Description:  I rode the cab of an Oyster Bay train into Hunterspoint Av as part of a rider outreach program in 1978. This gave me vantage points I would not have otherwise had, such as this view out the window of FA 610 near Harold tower. The partial engine is SW 1001 105, one of a pair of units-the other was 101-kept there as protect power to pull an M 1 train out of the tunnel if it became necessary. That engine is not the star here. Down in the hole, partly obscured, is GG 1 4877, then a Conrail unit, pulling into the turning loop that trains from Penn Station use to get into Sunnyside Yard. In three more years, that engine will be repainted into the red PRR Congressional scheme, and live out the remaining two years of its existence running commuters at high speed between New York and South Amboy.

"Celebration" Party for NJT GG1 #4877
Title:  "Celebration" Party for NJT GG1 #4877
Description:  In celebration of the former Pennsylvania GG1 #4877 now serving the New Jersey Transit, the New Jersey Historical Society threw a party complete with an "Celebration" cake in honor of "Big Red" after a beautiful paint job setting it back to the "Big Red" color. It was also in anticipation of its retirement in October 29, 1983. In 1991 after Big Red's retirement in 1983, the NJT donated the locomotive to the United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey. Currently it is stored at the Boonton yard and hopefully will be part of the future New Jersey Transportation Heritage Center. Unfortunately, the avid rail fan who took these photos was listed.

NJT GG1 #4877 - New Jersey Transit
Title:  NJT GG1 #4877 - New Jersey Transit
Description:  This beautiful GG1 led a very productibe and interesting life. Built by GE and the PRR Altoona Shops in January of 1939 as PRR #4877, it served the Pennsy for many years pulling passengers at speeds of 100 mph. The once proud GG1 then bounced through the ill-fated Penn Central years and then onto the Conrail roster after the PC collapse. It next served in New Jersey commuter servce (NJDOT>NJT) unitl final retirement on October 29, 1983. In 1991, NJT donated it to the United RR Historical Society of New Jersey (URHS). It is stored in the Boonton Yards awaiting its new home in the future New Jersey Transportation Heritage Center. An unknown rail fan too this photo of Big Red at its celebration party.

NJT 4GG1 #877 - New Jersey Transit
Title:  NJT 4GG1 #877 - New Jersey Transit
Description:  The beautiful Art Deco styling by Raymond Loewy allows the GG1's to hold a special place in railroading history as one of the sleekest stylings ever created, at least IMHO! Even more impressive was its speed - often reaching sustained speeds of 100 mph, something that was lost after these beautiful machines were retired. An unknown rail fan too this photo of Big Red at its celebration party.
