@GG1 4877 posted:
The first two GG1s in the preview image are NJDOT GG1s. They did occasionally provide service for Amtrak. 4877 has an interesting history as it never wore Tuscan Red in PRR service. It received that paint scheme in 1982 and only ran a little over a year before it got retired with the remaining 12 that NJDOT rostered. The plan was to restore 4876, but it had too many modifications and was not in as good condition as 4877. Now 4876 sits rotting with no preservation plans in Baltimore, while 4877 and sister 4879 are very well taken care of in the museum in Whippany, NJ. 4877 is in it's 1952 five stripe green appearance, while 4879 sports the single stripe green paint scheme now.

4877 is in Boonton, not Whippany, with the URHS, who did the restoration. 4879 is also there.
