GG-1
This shot and the next were
taken at Juniata Shops in Altoona after a mail train sideswiped a derailed
trailer train at Frazer, PA in 1960. The 4871 skidded out into
a cornfield about 45 degrees from the right of way on its side and is proof
that the GG-1 was indestructible. It was completely rewired and rebuilt.
