The Pennsylvania Railroad Class GG1 is a class of streamlined electric locomotives built for the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), in the northeastern United States. The class was known for its striking art deco shell, its ability to pull trains at up to 100 mph, and its long operating career of almost 50 years.

The iconic GG-1 is the most well known electric locomotive in the world. The model was quick and reliable that it remained in service from 1935 through 1983.

This site is for the virtual preservation of the standard electric locomotive of the world, the Pennsylvania Railroad's GG1. What's so special about the GG1? Longevity. The first GG1 went into service in 1935 and the last was taken out of service in 1983. The GG1 outlasted the railroad that built it and its successor road.

The GG-1, America’s most famous electric locomotive, was first built in 1932. Its streamlined body has been featured on U.S. postage stamps, as a Lionel toy train, and in dozens of paintings over the years.

Pennsylvania Railroad 4800, nicknamed "Old Rivets", is a GG1 class electric locomotive located at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, outside of Strasburg, Pennsylvania in the United States. It is the prototype GG1 and was originally numbered 4899.

A GG1 is two 4-6-0's back-to-back, thus the "GG" and the one indicates the first design. Electric locomotives are classified by their motored and unmotored axels. The GG1 is indicated as a 2-C+C-2.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Class GG1 were a class of electric locomotives built for the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) for use in the northeastern United States. Between 1934 and 1943, General Electric and the PRR's Altoona Works built 139 GG1s. It was one of the most popular types of electric locomotives ever built.

All are GG-1 (2-C-C-2) electrics built in Juniata and rated at 4,620 horsepower each. All were built during 1935: #4838 in July, #4840 in April, #4846 in May, and #4828 in June. All of their pantographs are in the "up" position.

The Pennsylvania GG-1 is one of the most recognizable locomotives, at least here in the Northeast. In use through the 1960's, it was a familiar sight on the nearby Pennsy Northeast Corridor (running between New York and Washington).
