Description
A rare color photo of the prototype GG1 locomotive, #4800 on the Pennsylvania Railroad's roster of these venerable electric locomotives. This photo taken in the early 1950's shows the engine as it arrives with a train at South Amboy, NJ. It would be swapped out for a steam engine for the rest of the run to Bay Head Jct. What makes this special from other GG1's in the fleet is the riveted body panels, the only engine so constructed. The rest would get welded panels thus no rivets.
