Album Info:The number of operable NJ Transit GG1's was dwindling as 4882 and 4877 waited for assignment at South Amboy in April, 1983. Only 4879 would be joining the two in late October, 1983 when they made their last revenue runs on October 28, 1983. Farewell to GG1 day followed on October 29, 1983 when 4882 and 4877 were scheduled to run from Matawan to Newark. The GG1's ran over the new 5 mile NY&LB section of catenary to Matawan.

Former PRR GG1 4877
Title:  Former PRR GG1 4877
Description:  The April, 1983 lineup of GG1's would not be so long for much longer at South Amboy. Former PRR GG-1 4877, repainted in Tuscan Red in 1981, rests second in a line of Gs at the engine terminal. Just 6 months later, "Big Red" would be honored to pull the last run of the GG-1. Sadly, it was not to be as a breakdown forced sister GG-1 4879 to rescue the train. This beautiful GG-1 was preserved (in as-built Brunswick green) along with her sister unit 4879 as part of the United Railroad Historical Society of NJ collection in Boonton, NJ.
