Very Nice. I saw a GG1 in Tuscan Red in Altoona last fall.

NJ Transit put 4877 into Tuscan Red in the 80s shortly before retiring her and donating her to the United Rail Historical Society of New Jersey. However the URHS repainted her to her original scheme, Brunswick Green with Pinstripes, recently.

An absolute beauty! It's a pity that none of these are in working condition.

Indeed, though for all the abuse and deferred maintenance they were put through they had remarkably long careers

Now someone just needs to make one of these operational again.....

Between the fact that PRR/PC/Conrail/NJ Transit ran them into the ground and that they use PCBs in their transformers, I just don't see it happening

..Aaand this is why someone needs to put forth the effort to rebuild one.

Nice shot. That engine wears the colour of Brunswick Green well.
