  • That is the one That Strasburg railroad 8618 had with him

  • SO LUCKY

  • Were you expecting this or was it a lucky catch.

  • I like the fact that they needed the extra ballast cars to provide enough braking power for the two dead-in-tow engines. I don't know about the last engine, but the GG1 they took to Washington has no working brakes at all. The ballast cars provide enough braking power per ton to meet FRA regulations.

  • there are 2 GG-1's in Cooperstown junction NY the still have the PRR plak
