PRR 4808, GG-1, 1961
Title:  PRR 4808, GG-1, 1961
Description:  Meadows. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Engine Service Tracks at Meadows Yard near Kearny, New Jersey, on 28 January 1961. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #4808 and at least four more units whose numbers are not recorded. #4808 is a GG-1 (2-C-C-2) built by General Electric during July of 1935 and rated at 4,620 horsepower. Looks to me like all of these units are "Out of Service" since none of their pantographs are in the "up" position. ("Stoneborobranch"; #31 of 32)
