Tim Darnell General Very nice shot of 4640!! 2/7/2024 5:31:37 PM
Tom Beckett General I know they did this for the photographers-in practice, the PRR/PC/NJT rarely, if ever, used two GG 1's out of New York. My recall is always one engine, which came off here, traded for E's. The trains could be big, too, some were over 12 cars. The G's had no problem running them at speed. Watching the engine change here was a fun thing, though the working railroaders probably didn't see it that way, especially if the weather was not optimal. Great series, and a look at a long gone practice that was once a multi times daily event. 2/8/2024 4:50:45 AM
