Here is a photo of Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4890, a GG-1 (2-C-C-2) electric built in Juniata during March of 1940, rated at 4,620 horsepower, owned successively by the Penn Central Railroad and Amtrak, donated initially to the B&O Railroad Museum but transferred to the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay during 1995. Note the "ribbon rail" in the foreground. The photographer's name, the exact date, and the location are not recorded. (Gift from Brad Mann.) |
