Riveted Jacket of Many Colors: A Photo History of GG1 No. 4800
April 25, 2015 - October 31, 2015
This exhibit surveys the career of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania’s own GG1 locomotive No. 4800. From 1934 to 1943, the Pennsylvania Railroad acquired 139 of what many consider to be the most successful and iconic electric locomotive class ever produced in the United States, the GG1. Probably the most well-known of the class is the first, No. 4800, or as it is affectionately known “Old Rivets.” No. 4800 has had a long and storied history and has seen many changes to its appearance. Regular Museum hours. Included in the regular Museum admission.
