Summary[edit]

Description

The GG1 series were highly successful in handling heavy loads, in large part because of their strong steel frame with concrete added for weight to facilitate traction. Only their advanced age and newer technology eventually led to their retirement, with the last in service in the early 1980s. Today a few still exist in museums.

No. 4935 is one of the Museum's most admired locomotives, taking second place perhaps only to the famous No. 3750, of the Pacific K4s class -- the official steam locomotive class of Pennsylvania. A special exhibit next to No. 4935 portrays the GG1 history.
