A lot of old Amtrak hands told me the GG1 was the best engine they ever ran. The units despite being HUGE could do anything. Fast intercity passenger runs, heavy freights that needed 2 GG1s vs 6 GP40-2s, commuter work via NJT in their later years, you name it a GG1 could do it, the gigachad electric. They only withdrew them in 1983 due to the truck frames literally cracking from age, even welding the cracks did bugger all and plus the 80s was when the world found out PCBs (used in the coolant for the transformers) were bad for ya. They did outlive their original replacement funny enough as the E60s that failed to go faster than GG1s without derailing, wasnt until the AEM-7s until they found an engine that could go faster at 125mph. Despite that they were ahead of their time and quite the lookers. Took a lot to put these beasts in retirement. Glad you got a Tuscan red one too, WAY better than the livery of the worst merger in railroad history. 16 GG1s survive including not just 4882 but the prototype 4800 "Ol' Rivets" Plus 2 abandoned somewhere in NY
