| Title: |
A line of Conrail GG1's |
| Description: |
Beautiful action shot of four Conrail GG1's heading up a line of freight cars with CR #4867 taking the point. This was just a couple years before a lot of the GG1's were retired. Once the sleek symbol of Pennsy passenger speed, the GG1's later were relegated to freight duties. A note on the back of the photo by photographer D. Woodland states "Symbol freight PGPI. 10 am westbound." |

| Title: |
CR GG1 #4867 |
| Description: |
The afternoon sun catches this whitelined powerhouse of a locomotive now relegated to the scrap line at the Enola, PA, yard. Built by PRR Altoona and Westinghouse in January of 1938, it served on three rosters - PRR, PC & CR - before being dismissed from service in February of 1980 after 42 years. Conrail conductor Ken Taylor documented this last step before it disappeared under the scrapper's torch. |
