GG-1
This shot and the previous
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.
