PC 4859 - Penn Central |
| Description: |
No date listed and based on the Whitehead Metals sign on the trackside building, I'm guessing Windsor, NY, as the location. this GG1 is noteworthy as being the first electric locomotive to run between Philadelphia and Harrisburn with the inaugural train, Train #25 the Metropolitan, on January 15, 1938. It also pulled the last GG1-powered freight train on November 22, 1979. Originally stored at Strasburg, it was moved to its current location at the Harrisburg Transporation Center in 1986 and was listed on the National Register of Histroic Places in 1982 and designated the state electric locomotive of Pennsylvania in 1987. |

PC GG1 #4859 - Penn Central |
| Description: |
Built by PRR and GE in December of 1937, this powerful double ended electric locomotive ran for many years before the Penn Central merger. PRR 4858 became PC 4858 and after a few years became CR 4859. Upon retirement in February of 1980, this loco was preserved at the Trasportation Center in Harrisburg, PA and received a notable recognition, namely it was designated as the Pennsylvania state electri locomotive in 1987.
