Look ma, no wire
Title:  Look ma, no wire
Description:  A pair of GG 1s that are slated to go to a yet to be established museum have been acquired from Amtrak, and are now sitting at the connection from the D&H to the old Cooperstown branch, at this time operated by the NYSW. I have a connection to 4932, as it was the engine I rode behind on the Broadway from NY to Harrisburg in August 1978.
