Introduction
The GG1 has been plastered on everything from magazine ads and Hollywood movies to coach seat headrests. It is said to have been in more advertisements and movie clips over the years than any other locomotive.
The GG1 was designed in 1934 because the Pennsyvania Railroad was unsatisfied with the performance of the P5a. GE delivered the GG1 prototype to the PRR in August 1934, and PRR ordered 57 more locomotives in November of the same year. They eventually built an additional 81 units between 1937 and 1943. The GG1 represents a breakthrough in electric locomotive technology. It was patterned mechanically after the New Haven Railroad EP3. The GG1 could track better at high speeds compared to the P5a, and the wheelbase design allowed it to negotiate sharp curves and some railroad switches that the R1, another PRR Electric option, wasn’t able to negotiate due to its rigid wheelbase.
