The GG1 also developed frame cracks, and as far as seeing one run, what track would it run on? The Northeast Corridor where it would have to share the rails with the Acela? You'll never see one run again.

Beautiful! The loco that built it all!
-
and after all of that, there it sits.....

My God, this is taking forever.....

@The86416 Yes "widely disputed" like the Heliocentric Theory, Evolution, resource depletion, and gravity. But I am an aspiring aerospace engineer, so the more screwed up the homeworld is, the more insentive humans will have to go somewhere else, the more money I can make. So, keep up the good work.

@The86416 Well see, that's why. Over there in Britain, more people actually give a crap about railroads and rail preservation. Over here in the US of A, almost nobody does. America is also overrun with environmentalists. Even if a GG1 was in operational condition, the operators would be NAILED by the EPA for using PCBs to cool the transformers, even if they were safely contained and disposed of.

@LNERMallard In Britain, Class 86 (formerly AL6), on the west coast main line, they only work freight jobs now, apart from a couple of preserved examples which work the occasional charter or mail train. Hence my username...!
1965 and still going strong ;-)

@The86416 Really? What kind and on what railroad?
-
@WhopBobbaLuBop Yes. It is. And you know what? I'm not going to argue about something as silly as this with someone who is obviously oblivious to what's going on around them, so goodbye.

@TheStrasburg90 NO, IT'S NOT!!!

Global warming is widely disputed anyway, so what's your point?
I drive 45 year old electrics that are full of PCBs, and I'm proud to do so. I hope they last for many years, and I also hope to see an operational GG-1 some day.
