Actually, it should be known as a "G1" since "G" referred to a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement. "GG" meant two such wheel arrangements connected together.
Since the PRR already had G1 - G5s (4-6-0 steam engines), this critter would probably get the next number and be a G6. Although they were known to give one of a kind and odd ball engines numbers in the 20s or 30s (e.g., J28, K28, K29, etc.), so it could be a G28.
