PRR 4800, GG-1, c. 1961
Description:
Old Rivets. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #4800 and #4887. Both are GG-1 (2-C-C-2) electric locomotives rated at 4,620 horsepower each. #4800 was built by General Electric as number "4899" during August of 1934, renumbered "4800" in November of 1934, and presently on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg. In this photo, it looks to me like "Old Rivets" is deadlined. What's missing? Engine #4887 was built in Juniata during April of 1939. The photographer's name, the exact date, and the location are not recorded.

PRR 4800 - Pennsylvania RR
Description:
Better known as "Old Rivets", this was the first GG1 constructed with rivets rather than welded body for later ones after winning a race over the other prototype, R1. Originally it was numbered 4899 but later numbered 4800 to start the series of GG1's. It served PRR, then PC and finally Conrail. It is the only GG1 to wear the PRR, PC, Conrail Bicentennial and Conrail blue color schemes. It was sold to the National Railway Historical Society in 1980 and restored to its 1935 cosmetic appearance by the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania for display beginning on November 20, 1982.
