was most likely 4935, restored to its Pennsy livery by private donations; this engine is now at the RR Museum of PA at Strasburg (near Lancaster). NJT also had a tuscan red (Pennsy livery) GG1, 4877 (?), but I don't know where that unit is now. --Dave

This sighting was the day after Thanksgiving, 1985, in or near Newark, NJ. I missed the number, curse it, but I believe that it was Brunswick Green (unless my memory editor has been at work), it certainly had the gold pinstripes, and it was in a line with two or three other GG1s painted for CR (black, at least; there was a line of something-or-other between my Amcoach and the GG1s). I was in shock afterward, because I didn't think there were any GG1s anywhere near actual operational shape, and I hadn't expected to see them. Oh, well. I'll just run my N scale GG1. Anybody got any Rivarossi smoothside Pennsy cars to sell? No RPOs, tail cars, or cheap ConCor imitations, please. Dennis
