Nostalgia & History > BB goes east and bags a big electric w/big lettering: PRR GG1Date: 03/27/23 12:20 BB goes east and bags a big electric w/big lettering: PRR GG1 Author: valmont If it was an electric Bruce Black would find it ... here's a photo of his from 4/64 ... no location noted, but clearly not in Little Joe territory.

Pennsyvania-Reading Seashore Lines Timetable Form 3 - April 26, 1964 - Southern New Jersey Train Service (railfan.net) Date: 03/29/23 08:27 Re: BB goes east -- PRR GG1 Author: Gonut1 PRR ran diesels on the Schuylkill Division to Reading and Pottsville. There were at least a pair of daily trains carrying mail and a rider car. They went away with the withdrawing of mail by th epost office.
Gonut Date: 03/29/23 13:54 Re: BB goes east and bags a big electric w/big lettering: PRR GG1 Author: vjb4877 Between 1963 and 1983 I only saw ONE GG1 running with both pantagraphs up. Since I live in NYCÂ I cannot swear that it did not happen occasionally. More frequent but close to the rarity was a running GG1 with the forward pantagraph up! My late brother used to point out that almost anything was possible to see on the railroad and that was proven when I saw a GP9B leading a freight trough Elizabeth, NJ. It had come east off the Trenton cutoff - and it happened more than once!
