great video i realy injoyed it iv always whated a gg1 train set and i did just a few weeks ago im almost done restoreing it its a lionel o gauge set from 1950 set number #2159w its been alittle bit of work and finding parts but it going to be well worth :-}
The "double-gee" was the first locomotive I could name. Lucky enough to see as many as I wanted to back in those days. All locomotives should be art deco like a double-gee. Born less than 2 miles from the bridge at 3:28, and our family dentist's practice overlooked that bridge on the HdG side.
In the beginning, that's the original Pennsylvania Station in New York. It was largest & most magnificent train station in the US, but it was torn down completely in 1963-1966.
PRR GG1 Project: Looking to interview and record conversations with GG1 mechanics, electricians, maintenance personnel, engineers and historians for an upcoming documentary project.
Inspiring! Lets be grateful that our recently elected president (and VP, who rides Amtrak each day) understand the importance of railroads to the future of this great nation.
Amazingly almost the only thing I ever knew about American Railroads was that there were these classic locomotives called GG1's.
The other thing was that there were loco's called Big Boys!

If only we could get back to those days. Just think how much better off we would be now.
