	Ztrains: Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) GG1
		The Class GG1 locomotives were developed by the PRR in the 1930s in response to the need for fast, powerful and reliable locomotives that could perform high speed passenger service on the PRR's expanding electrified lines.
		The PRR then tested both the GG1 and the R1 for ten weeks at their Claymont, Delaware facilities with the GG1 emerging as the clear winner.
		Two of his best known contributions to the GG1 were the removal of the body rivets in favor of smooth, welded body panels and of course the instantly recognizable "cat whiskers" gold stripes that accentuate the Class GG1 body.

	The GG1 Homepage
		The GG1 outlasted the railroad that built it and its successor road.
		This may be in part due to the fact that the GG1 was not handed a spot in the PRR inventory, it earned it.
		PRR was in the market for a new electric but the R-1 was offered in addition to the GG1.

	GG1 #4913
		The "G," as admirers called it, long served as a symbol of the PRR, and its unusual shape was the image generations of people associated with the railroad.
		The GG1 locomotives, true to their standard of durability, dominated the electrified lines of the PRR through the Penn Central period and into Conrail's early years.
		PRR GG1 #4913 is owned by the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum.

	Ztrains: Marklin Z Scale GG1
		When the Marklin Z scale Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) GG1 locomotive arrived on my desk, I immediately knew that this was a very special model.
		In part due to the plastic shell of the GG1, this is a relatively light locomotive for its size, weighing in at 1.36 ounces or 38.5 grams.
		The Pacific is approximately 3/4 the length of the GG1.

	RR Museum of PA - GG1
		The design was called GG1 by the Pennsylvania Railroad because the wheel arrangement was the same as two Class G (4-6-0) steam locomotives coupled back to back.
		The cab areas are in the center as a safety precaution for the crew in case a collision.
		The GG1 series were highly successful in handling heavy loads, in large part because of their strong steel frame with concrete added for weight to facilitate traction.

	The Pennsylvania Railroad GG1
		The GG1 survivors have had their transformers removed, many of the traction motors have shorted out and all of the other current carrying parts have deteriorated to the point of uselessness.
		The GG1 was a 25 cycle (HZ) machine for which the PRR maintained their own substation to provide the 25 cycle current.
		The GG1 transformer was cooled with a fluid known generically as Askarel (a non-flammable synthetic liquid dielectric).

	PRR GG1 Roster - Pt1 NE Rails (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		"Based primarily on the design of the earlier, less successful P5a, the magnificent GG1, with it's 2-C+C-2 wheel arrangement and articulated frame, proved so impressive in its initial tests in 1933, that between the years 1934 and 1943, a total of 139 units were built.
		For the next half-century, this powerful and aesthetically pleasing marvel could be found at the head-end of the majority of passenger and freight traffic that ran up and down the Northeast Corridor.
		Although the last revenue run of a GG1 took place in the early 1980's, for many of us who grew up with her sleek beauty and quiet power, the 'G' will always have its own special place in our hearts and memories".

	Arnold PRR GG1
		(The pantagraphs may be used for electrical pickup if desired.) The GG1 is neatly painted in a dark green that closely approximates the PRR Brunswick Green used on freight units.
		Our sample GG1 was a bit ragged and noisy in its running characteristics to begin with...
		I do not expect it will ever measure up to the performance level of the newer N scale locomotive designs as the GG1 drive simply is an older design with looser tolerances.

	RE: [PRR] Painting of freight cars - last gap filled (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It appears that it was PRR's intention to get all of their new boxcars and covered hoppers' roofs (which were by this time almost exclusively galvanized steel) coated with asphaltum as the final coat.
		For example, PRR considered all six of its PT&T tunnels at Weehawken/Penn Station/Sunnyside Yard to be artificial (yet those weren't cut-and-cover), as well as all eleven of those related to the Suburban Station/30th Street/Zoo complex (most if not all of which were cut-and-cover).
		In the settlement between NYC and PRR, PRR was to acquire the South Penn and the Beech Creek, but the provision in the PA constitution barring mergers between parallel railroads caused a court to enjoin PRR from acquiring either.

		The station had to be raised, placed on cribbage, moved across the main line tracks, down an embackment, then moved up river, travel thru a very tight fit under the PRR Pittsburgh-Fort Wayne Mainline Bridge crossing, pulled further up river, then back across the P&LE main to where the station was relocated.
		Station would be moved to the right of tracks down to the river bank and then dragged westward under and thru the PRR Bridge.
		Thus the Station was taken to river side for the move under the PRR Bridge where the clearence was greater.

		History: Used on commuter routes radiating out of Hoboken, this type of locomotive was the first to utilize shaft driven head end power for providing electricity to the passenger cars for heat and air conditioning, and was the predecessor of this methodology currently used by Amtrak and other passenger carrying authorities.
		At the peak of PRR commuter operations, there were approximately four hundred MP54s in service including a variety of combine, RPO, and trailer cars.
		It was originally painted in PRR Tuscan Red as "Cambridge Inn" and was the last of 48 cars converted from 21 Roomette Sleepers to coaches.

		K-Line has made some key modifications to its GG1, which puts this new O gauge version at the front of the pack.
		The GG1 went around several staff layouts, and the feedback was positive, although when pulling a heavy train up grades and around curves it seemed to need more throttle input than similar engines.
		The sounds of the RailSounds-equipped GG1 match the prototype; the bell and horn are clear and crisp.

		There are few locomotives as recognizable as the PRR GG1.
		In 1952 and '53 PRR painted 10 GG1s Tuscan Red, to better match the cars of The Congressional and Senator, which had Markings painted over Tuscan backgrounds.
		In 1955, PRR introduced a whole new scheme, consisting of enlarged lettering, a single wide stripe, and a much bigger keystone herald.
