NJT 4876 |
| Description: |
NJT 4876 speeds through Rahway with a Bay Head train. This was the engine that gained notoriety when it crashed into Washington Union Station with a runaway Federal in 1953. It was cut in half and removed from the basement of the station to run again, which it did til 1983. Note the Pennsy car behind the GG 1. There were two subscription parlors on the North Jersey Coast Line, one that ran from Newark as part of the Jersey Central side of the operation. The other was a Pennsy car that ran on a New York train. Both cars ran an inbound trip in the morning, and an outbound trip in the afternoon, serving refreshments appropriate for the time of day. |

Disaster Survivor |
| Description: |
GG-1 4876 -- a 1939 product of the Pennsylvania Railroads Altoona Shops -- heads south after leaving Elizabeth, New Jersey. Elizabeths famous speed-restricted S-curve lies just ahead. 4876 is one of the most famous GG-1s because in 1953 it crashed through the floor of Washingtons Union Station. The incident, which became known as the "Wreck of the Federal Express," was caused by malfunctioning braking equipment in the train. Miraculously, there were no fatalities. After the wreck, 4876 was simply cut up into pieces by PRR engineers, rebuilt, and returned to service. She served the Pennsylvania, Penn Central, Amtrak, and New Jersey Transit for many years afterward and was among a handful of GG-1s that ended the GG-1s reign in 1983, faithfully delivering passengers to and from Penn Station and South Amboy. This photo was taken in the Spring of 1983 -- a few months before the end. |

Awaiting the torch |
| Description: |
The torch has been passed. Now these GG 1s await a different torch, the one that will put them permanently in their graves, at Harrison in April 1984. Interestingly, the lead G is the Union Station runaway engine from the famous Federal Express wreck in 1953, now going to scrap after a second life. |

| Description: |
Seen from the passing excursion train, still in former Conrail and New Jersey Transit markings, is former PRR 4876 next to the museum restoration shop. This was the GG-1 that crashed in Washington Union Station and was subsequently rebuilt at Altoona before going on to provide service until the 1980s. It is truly a testament to the work and quality that went into constructing these great machines. |
