Reply to "Scale GG1 Comparison - GG1s live on!"

To complement this great thread, I thought I would post links to photographs of two very historic GG1's taken by me. The 4879, shown crossing the Raritan River Bridge into Perth Amboy on 8/23/82, was assigned to Train 3323 on 10/29/83, the last revenue trip powered by a G. Having been an NJCL commuter at the time with 3323 being my regular evening train, yours truly had the great privilege to be one of the 4879's last passengers. Note the PRR P70 coach bringing up the markers in the photograph.

The 4882, pictured eastbound at South Amboy on 5/9/81, was the last G to operate under its own power when it towed two other G's back to the shop following completion of NJ Transit's Matawan headquartered retirement bash for the locomotives on 10/29/83. The class was officially stricken from NJT's roster the following Monday.
