| This hardworking locomotive has served several rosters with distinction. Here it's heading up a commuter train running from South Amboy, NJ to New York City. Originally built by the Pennsylvania's own Altoona Shops in January of 1939 as PRR GG1 #4873, it went to the Penn Central roster when PRR collapsed. From there, it was picked up by the NJDOT, then on to the NJT/NJTR roster. The last 13 GG1's in use with the NJT were finally retired on Octotber 29, 1983. #4873 was not preserved but instead scrapped which would have made one heck of a large pile!!! No location, exact day in September of 1981 or photographer was given for the color slide which is now in my collection. |
