This is the prototype GG1 and was originally numbered 4899. Built by General Electric in 1934, the locomotive competed against a prototype, the R1, built by rival company Westinghouse. 4800 was kept in service by the Pennsylvania Railroad and its successors, Penn Central and Conrail, until 1979.
PC GG1 4800, affectionately known as "Old Rivets," rests at Meadows Yard in Kearny, NJ, on November 30, 1975. The 4800 was the first GG1 built and the only GG1 to have a riveted car body. Photo copyright 1997 Harv Kahn. (36 K)
