The GG1 is such an iconic locomotive that one or two should be towed to West Coast museums and given Pennsy 5-Stripe paint jobs.
Well, one made for it as far as Green Bay Wisconsin at the national RR museum
There is one in Frisco, TX, just north of Dallas. That is the furthest west where one can be found. That GG1, 4903, went to Dallas from Elkhart, IN, in exchange for NYC L-3a Mohawk 3005

Illinois Railway Museum also has one, since restored to the Pennsy 5-stripe paint scheme:

It's been long time now since these things were taken out of service and donated. There aren't any more available from Amtrak or NJT, even if a "west coast museum" wanted one..
