Gary Everhart General Absolutely the most beautiful electric ever built during a time when America truly understood and supported high speed trains! 7/20/2011 6:43:39 AM
George Katz General @Gary: Hear! Hear! And Thanks for sharing your Dad's eye for beauty, Tom. 7/20/2011 8:45:03 AM
Stu Nicholson General Raymond Loewy's design is timeless. They were classy hauling passengers or freight. 7/20/2011 9:13:38 AM
Fred Goff General Great Photo. 7/20/2011 12:16:56 PM
Jim Satterwhite General Me thinks that your Dad may have bagged an Editor's Pick if for nothing more than the scene's historical significance. 7/20/2011 7:31:32 PM
Tom Fassett General To heck with the things wizzing by at high speed--that's one of the most dramatic GG1 shots I've seen. Pop caught a good scene... ;- ) 7/21/2011 1:02:59 PM
Tom Beckett General Tom F-I agree. One of the powerful things of this shot is the apparent anticipation of an imminent high speed run. Sometimes that's more dramatic than watching the tear up Metuchen at 100 MPH. 7/21/2011 5:56:50 PM
Wendy Crim General Awesome shot. I love how different these were/are. 8/20/2011 3:50:20 PM

Fred Stuckmann General I agree with all, especially Gary E. Super shot. 9/27/2011 10:47:21 PM
Tim Darnell General Once very common, now a classic! The GG-1 and the shot. 12/27/2012 3:20:57 PM
Dave Korhammer General Beautiful shot - and all that assorted passenger equipment just makes it better! :) 6/21/2014 1:57:46 PM
Edward Kirk General great pic 12/17/2016 10:13:32 AM
Ben Kranefeld General Fantastic scene! 12/3/2018 11:39:05 AM
Matthew Zisi General Nice shot! Almost looks like a model; I think it's the vantage point. 12/14/2020 9:01:21 PM
