Amtrak 924
Title:  Amtrak 924
Description:  A forty-year-old GG1 in the livery applied to all too few of the old PRR electrics heads a train of new Amfleet coaches in November 1975 arriving at Stadium in South Philadelphia with an Army-Navy Game train from Washington. The old GG1s were not converted for the newer head end power (HEP) and you can see a generator car between the engine and the train.

Description:  A New York bound train rolls into Baltimore behind one of Amtraks "circus" units, so called for the bright paint job. I suppose it was better than basic black, but there had to have been better paint schemes.

GG 1 from the train
Title:  GG 1 from the train
Description:  Dad caught this G in Sunnyside yard while passing on the Long Island. At right is Queens Blvd, with its IRT Flushing elevated line. Going toward Manhattan, it leads to Queensboro Plaza station, seen at the center top of the photo. There, transfer can be made to the BMT Astoria Line, which goes straight into the 60th St tunnel, and will make its next stop at 59th and Lexington. The IRT will curve sharply south, making Court Square, then Hunterspoint Av before going underground.

"The Enduring GG1," Page 60, 1975
Title:  "The Enduring GG1," Page 60, 1975
Description:  Here is page nine of a ten-page article by Alan B. Chesley & Tony Koester entitled "The Enduring GG1." It was published originally in the December 1975 issue of "Railroad Model Craftsman" magazine, page 60. Caption For All Photos: "Air intake grilles for the traction motor/transformer cooling blowers of 4801-4938 were at first flush with Loewy-styled sides as on 4927 (top), but later got 'rim' and were finally moved up adjacent to pan due to snow ingestion problems." Cross-sectional drawings by Mr. Chesley are "Full size for O scale: 1/4" = 1'-0"; 1-48"

CB&Q F3 9961A
Title:  CB&Q F3 9961A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 9961A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on July 15, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. Built in Octoier 1947 (c/n 4426) on EMD Order E791 for three sets of F3 A-B-A locomotives intended for the California Zephyr. These were the only F units on the Burlington equipped with steam generators and lacking dynamic brakes. By the ea~ly 1950's they were bumped from Zephyr service and regeared and repainted for freight service, but retained their passenger series numbers. It appears that cab 9961C must have failed and needed"maintenance, as this A-B set is pictured here with a B unit, either a Phase IV F3 or an F7. Records indicate that 9961C was traded in July 1963, and 9961A and B lasted a couple more months, bejng traded in October 1963.
