Tom Beckett	General	This power will take over from GG 1's that have come down from Penn Station NY with trains to Bay Head. South Amboy was quite a place for many years, and where a lot of Pennsy power ran out its final days-steam, Sharks, E 7's, E 8's, GG 1's, the last three long after PRR vansihed from the scene.	1/21/2022 3:38:02 AM
