GG-1 4877 at Rahway With Parlor Car No. 1734
Title:  GG-1 4877 at Rahway With Parlor Car No. 1734
Description:  In the early 1980s, GG-1 4877 was repainted in the classic PRR tuscan red gold pinstripe color scheme to commemorate the Gs many years of service. She continued to operate regular trains through 1983 and I caught up with her at Rahway early one Spring morning of that year. I only got two photos of 4877 moving; this one - the train is moving onto the main line to New York at Rahway -- and a shot in pastoral surroundings at South Amboy. In retrospect, I wish I had spent more time hunting her down in her last years of revenue service but Im lucky to have gotten the shots I got of her. 4877 was saved from the scrap heap by dedicated railroad historians but like many wonderful locomotives, she languished for years outdoors and her paint faded. Happily, she is well on the way toward a thorough cosmetic restoration thanks to the United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey. Doesnt tuscan red Pennsy parlor car 1734 look great behind this classic electric?
