Nostalgia & History > PC GG1 4932 -- Part 2

1, 2, and 3. Penn Central GG1 4932 was heading into Washington Union Station from the north on the afternoon of April 29, 1969.  I have a conflict in my notes.  In one place I say she had Train 149, The Afternoon Keystone.  In another place I say she had Crescent/Southerener cars.  Help.

4. Here, a little later, she is heading back to the Ivy City engine house.


Enjoy,
Marty Bernard

Very nice.  Is that a Pullman (?) 10-6 (UP Colors) with another 10-6 on the end?

Consist sure likes it's headed to a Southern Rwy connection.

,#149 the Afternoon Keystone also carried Southern Crescent cars. Prior to the PC merger, this was the southbound that carried the Tubular cars, adding P70 and P85 coaches when the 5 or 6 Tubular coaches did not have sufficient capacity.  The Pennsy (and even the PC) generally provided a seat for everybody.

The 4932 looks like a wrinkly old elephant, which at this point in time it was! Long gone was the stylish PRR gold 5 and single stripe motif.
Such a downplay on Raymond Loewy's beautiful design. I really miss seeing the PRR G's in proper attire. Long ago and far away!
