Does anyone know the number fo the GG-1 that pulled FDR’s funeral train from Washington D.C. to NYC?
If I remember correctly, there was an article (maybe two parts?) in “The Keystone” a number of years ago detailing the trip. You might be able to contact the PRRHS to get a backcopy.
Apparently it was the 1st one, no. 4800.
“According to the North America Railway Hall of Fame, “Old Rivets” pulled FDR’s funeral train during the DC-to-Hyde Park leg of the journey in April 1945”
However, of course, the PRR only did the DC to NYC part. From there, the train went on the New Haven a short distance, and then the rest of the way on the New York Central.
