Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 In Cab Part Two

These are actual 16mm home movies films made by the Late Robert G. Sage, SR. of Reading, PA. There were 12 Reels of movies from the late 1940's through the 50's. I bought these 16mm Films at a yard sale last year.

Your new videos are truly a blast back into a time when railroading was steel rails and heart and soul.

I vividly remember the CG1s in Baltimore as a kid. I thought they were the coolest locomotives going. I remember being very excited to ride on a train that was pulled by one. The music is perfect for these old films!

Whats the title of the first music?

[speedskiff2]

nice posts. shame PCBs in transformers doomed them or they might still be running. GG-1 out performed motors that replaced them.

Priceless videos! Thanks for archiving and sharing.

Thanks, so much, my friend! I miss the GG-1 so much! I grew up with the locomotive. It is the pinnacle of electric locomotives and its aesthetically PERFECT TO LOOK AT. Loewy perhaps did not know that the co-efficient of drag was low, too! Thanks, NgaiO Arthur Burghardt (old Baltimore, Md now living in California!)

@nimrod4017 Is it ugly? I don't know...but it seems timeless. Every time I watch movies like that I get sad...this was a fantastic period in America....GG-1 is just a remainder of those times. I love it!
