Total of active GG-1's is down to 65 units in the employ of Amtrak, CR, and NJDOT as age and impending line voltage changes doom the streamlined 2-C+C-2's." All three GG-1's were built originally for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and their PRR numbers were the same as their CR numbers. Engine #4936 was built in Juniata during April of 1943, engine #4801 was built by General Electric during May of 1935, while engine #4811 was constructed by General Electric during July of 1935. |
