Title:
PC 4902, GG1, 1969
Description:
Byerly. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Allan Roberts that was taken at Sunnyside Yard in Long Island City, New York, on 4 July 1969. Photo Caption: "Penn Central GG-1's, Sunnyside, L.I., N.Y., 1969." Pictured here are four identifiable Penn Central Railroad locomotives, all of which are GG1 (2-C-C-2) electrics built in Juniata by the Pennsylvania Railroad and rated at 4,620 horsepower each. On the left is #4902, built in May of 1940; it's all decked-out for the celebration of "American Railroads 1869-1969." Next over is #4892, built in March of 1940. Then there's #4909, built in December of 1941. And on the right is #4921, built in July of 1942. This photo comes from a color slide set entitled "Electric Railroading ~ Penn Central and Pennsylvania Lines" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (868-25).

Title:
"The Enduring GG1," Page 60, 1975
Description:
Here is page nine of a ten-page article by Alan B. Chesley & Tony Koester entitled "The Enduring GG1." It was published originally in the December 1975 issue of "Railroad Model Craftsman" magazine, page 60. Caption For All Photos: "Air intake grilles for the traction motor/transformer cooling blowers of 4801-4938 were at first flush with Loewy-styled sides as on 4927 (top), but later got 'rim' and were finally moved up adjacent to pan due to snow ingestion problems." Cross-sectional drawings by Mr. Chesley are "Full size for O scale: 1/4" = 1'-0"; 1-48"
