Interesting video. It I is breaking my heart that I cannot find my grandfather’s logbook which had some of his GG1 runs listed. He was an engineer for the Pennsy. Growing up in a town in N.J. which was on the Northeast Corridor I made many trips into Penn Station on trains pulled by GG1’s. In June of 1968 when I was about 11 years old my sister and I went down to the Rahway N.J. station to watch Robert F. Kennedy’s funeral train pass through. They went through slowly and we could see the casket. They retired the last GG1 in May of 1983.

Thanks so much for watching! Hopefully it’ll turn up soon! That’s amazing, unfortunately I missed seeing these beautiful locomotives in service. I saw they did a restoration run in the 80s and it actually stopped at Leeman Place Junction with CN 89 (Strasburg).

Neat to hear your experiences with GG1's! I saw many run on the Northeast Corridor, mostly through Princeton Junction, when I was a kid, but as far as I know I never rode behind one. I really miss those days, the GG1's were special!

@@FordEnthusiast413 that's awesome! I loved how I'd see the GG1's pulling both freight and passenger trains. It was super cool when they stop at the platform to pick up passengers, and then you'd hear the deep whir of the electric motor as it accelerated away.

Hello Nick. Very interesting to see GG1's rotting in the woods. Thanks for videoing them. Crazy how both of your cameras were corrupted. Glad you were able to get to Timonium. I had a great day there as well.

Awesome finds out there! #4909 was indeed Tuscan Red originally. That's the one I bought in N scale when we went to Altoona. I really hope they can fix those up and that it won't be their final resting place. They look very out of their element there, but it's great that you were able to look at them. Also fun to see that there's other abandoned stuff in the area to check out.
