CR GG1 #4869         
The stylish and streamlined body of this GG1 stills stands out as a testiment to both Raymond Loewy and Donald Dohner influences, even while this beautiful locomotive sits in a scrap line at the Enola, PA, yard. Built by Altoona and Westinghouse in December of 1938, it went on to serve the Pennsy as well as Penn Central and finally Conrail before receiving its "pink slip" of retirement in February of 1980. Conrail conductor Ken Taylor documented its place in the GG1 scrap line two years after retirement.
