PRR GG1 4846 |
| Description: |
PRR half GG1 (perhaps it's a G1) 4846 at Wilmington, Delaware, on an unknown day in April 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. I happened upon this while passing through Wilmington on a business trip. It appears to have a duct directed towards the track at the rear of the unit, suggesting that perhaps it was used to clear snow in the yard. Although this is in the Conrail timeframe, it is unlikely this unit was on the CR roster. One source indicates that this was once #4846. |

PRR GG1 4846 |
| Description: |
Former PRR GG1 4846 at the shops, Wilmington, Delaware on an unknown day in April 1979, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I'm not sure what this was, sometimes you shoot first and ask questions later. I failed to ask the obvious question after shooting this photo, so here's my best guess: There appears to be a duct pointing toward the track, I would suppose that it was to clear the track of snow. One source indicates that this was once #4846 and that it was converted to a snowblower for the Wilmington Shops. |

PRR 4856, GG-1, 1965 |
| Description: |
WIL-ALT-65. Here is an original photo that I took while riding in a Pennsylvania Railroad passenger train from North Philadelphia to Harrisburg during August of 1965. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines 4856 and another unit whose number is not recorded. #4856 is a GG-1 built in Juniata during June of 1935. They are pulling an eastbound TrucTrain near Pomeroy, between Parkesbug and Atglen. Note that the track in the middle has just been eliminated. Special thanks go to Mr. Brian Ferrell for clarifying the location of this photo! |

PRR GG1 #4859 |
| Description: |
One of the most famous Pennsylvania GG1's is #4859. It has the distinction of pulling the first electric train to Harrisburg on January 15, 1938. To honor that moment, it now is preserved in the passenger shed at Harrisburg, PA, station. No date or photographer was listed for this photo but many photographers have taken nearly identical photos from the staircase leading down. |
