Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #4876 and #4922. Both are GG-1's built in Juniata; #4876 was built during January of 1939, but #4922 was built during August of 1942.

PRR GG1 #4876
Title:  PRR GG1 #4876
Description:  Interesting street crossing close to parked cars in an unidenitfied location. No date, location or photographer was listed for the photo. Based on the parked cars, it was sometime after 1965. With Steve Coraggio's help (see comment below), it may be South Amboy, NJ. Thanks, Steve! From Rob Arons' comment (see below) the crossing may be at John Street in South Amboy. Thanks, Rob, for the help!

Description:  Part of the catenary is raised almost as if it is searching for power once more. Hope this gets donated to another museum who is interested in PRR pieces so it can be restored.
