Passenger Trains > MP54's and GG1's at SpeedDate: 10/28/06 20:28 MP54's and GG1's at Speed Author: hasbt77fst The first is an MP54 set at Bowie, Maryland, in February, 1978.
The second is a GG1, of course, taken at Glenndale (PRR spelling), Maryland, in March, 1972. And lastly, a snow-impervious Metroliner, also at Glenndale, Maryland, in early 1979. I hope you enjoy these. As my scanner is kaput, these are digital photos of slides...

Air intakes on the Metroliner MU's were not designed correctly for many types of snow, and GG1's were used in those cases. If I remember correctly, very finely powdered snow would not be good for the GG1's, either. Date: 10/30/06 10:50 Re: MP54's and GG1's at Speed Author: jp1822 Great photos! Thanks for sharing!
