Nostalgia & History > GG1 pulling Amtrak train at Safe Harbor, PADate: 11/28/20 12:51 GG1 pulling Amtrak train at Safe Harbor, PA Author: SCAX3401 I was watching a TV program about the GG1 electric locomotives and there was a short clip of a westbound (northbound?) Amtrak train being pulled by a GG1 at Safe Harbor, PA. This was on the lower set of tracks, not the tracks on the high trestle (Enola Low Grade Line). Can anyone tell me what Amtrak train was routed this way back in the 1970's? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Can't you please spell this out for all of us? Geese! Are you talking about the Pennsylvania R.R. Line known as the Port Road?

Later it operated into Philadelphia and then south to WDC. I believe also the National Ltd. had a DC section. It may have also operated on the Port Road line.

The Washington section of the National Limited operated on the Columbia & Port Deposit line until October 28, 1978. The final eastbound National Limited had GG1 4935 which was repainted in the PRR scheme.
