If I may take a moment and show my lack of knowledge. It has been asked and answered why a GG1 couldn't be restored to original condition and operated. Is it even feasible to retro fit one with diesel engines and operate it that way?. Just wondering,
Then it wouldn't be a GG1.
It could be possible some group could fit contemporary electrical gear into a GG1, but for all its size the GG1 is pretty cramped on the inside.
And it would take considerable financing.

That is a drawing done by a Trains Magazine author. He also just released a cut away big boy. Does anyone know the status of these two G’s in 2019? I apologize for bringing up a thread from 3 years ago, but I thought it contained some great pictures of comparison between 2016 and 2019 with the locos.
