Trains News Wire EXCLUSIVE: Historic GG1 moves from Harrisburg station display
FYI the 4859 is also historic in another respect; it is the only one remaining still lettered in Loewy’s original "Futura " style rather than the later and more common “Sans Serif” lettering.
If she could only raise a pan and touch the wire that gave her life…so close and yet so far.
Yes
The first train ride that I ever had was with a GG-1 out of Newark, NJ Penn Station in the late 1940’s. I also recall a vintage GG-1 being stored for several years in the NJ Transit Hoboken yard. Wonder what ever happened to it?
Is it sad that I find 514 more interesting?

JUNK GE MOTOR !!! I’ll take the “G” any day !
Raised in the west, I never was able to see the GG-1 work. But it was, is, some piece of machinery.
Thanks for the info. The GG1 continues to be of special interest to us
Great photos- thanks. I was up on the State Street Bridge, enjoying the view from there.
Glad to hear the GG1 and cabin car will be returned to the shed when work is finished. They are a wonderful display and a great asset to the station.
What are the changes planned for the station?9
Is Mike Salvatore aware the GG1 was also built by GE? 
I like that even the cop was taking a photo.
Gene F. Opdyke. The last I saw 4877, she was painted back to Brunswick Green and went to the Railroad Museum of New Jersey. If I’m wrong about her location, please correct.
