Pennsylvania
GG-1 Electric

The
Broadway Limited now available! |
Raymond
Loewy designed, the Pride of the Pennsylvania
|
The
Pennsylvania Railroad's GG1 class of electric
locomotives were built between 1934 and 1943
at the PRR shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania,
with a total of 139 units constructed. They
remained in service with the PRR’s
successors until the early 1980’s.
The GG1 became one of the most recognized
and famous classes of locomotives worldwide.
While
the famous industrial designer Raymond
Loewy did not design the shape of the GG1
electric locomotives, he did improve their
looks by recommending the use of a smooth,
welded construction instead of a riveted
assembly, along with a pinstriped paint
scheme to highlight their smoothly rounded
forms; the "streamlined" style,
evoking speedy travel, was popular at the
time.

Following
their run on the Pennsylvania Railroad pulling
the Broadway Limited, in the 1970’s many
GG1’s continued on in their life running
on the Penn Central and then Amtrak, pulling everything
from freight to early Amtrak Superliners. Many
of these locomotives continued to operate well
into the 1980’s – their nearly 50 year
lifespan a tribute to how powerful and effective
this locomotive truly was. Your shopping cart will
show a "free" zero deposit reservation. Expected
