The GG1 Collection

with special guest appearance by the E 44
and P5's from Frank Goldsmith

The PRR GG1 was a classic electric locomotive that operated on the Peensy mainlines from the 1930's to the 1980's. Here is a tribute to the workhorses taken at various locations between 1968 and 1973.

	Elizabeth, NJ from the CNJ platforms.
	Levittown, Pa. Typical of the commuter stations south of Trenton, NJ
	North Philadelphia, Pa. Ten minutes from 30th St Station
	Rahway, NJ. I have a movie of this train too. I set my movie camera (Super-8) at the edge of the platform. I then stepped away to get this shot with my 35mm. I then realized that the train was doing about 80 MPH against the platform! I ran to save my movie camera and tripod.
	Another GG1 at Sunnyside Yard
	Although not as long used as the GG1, the E44 was one of the last electrics purchased by the Pennsylvania before the merger with the New York Central. This on is a Levittown, Pa.
	E44 at Rahway, NJ.
	Two shots of PRR P5 engines. These predated the GG1's. These are slides from the late Frank Goldsmith.

Here are More GG-1 Photos photos taken between 1969 and 1975.
