| Title: |
Queen of the festival |
| Description: |
For a number of years, NJ Transit hosted an event called the Hoboken Festival at the ex DLW station there. They would bring in a variety of equipment for display, not only their own, but M&E and Amtrak as well. The queen of the fleet, restored GG 1 4877, of course had to be towed in, along with all the other AC powered trains, since it would not run on the DLW 3000 volt DC power then in place. It still looked good. One has to wonder, had the Gs lasted long enough to make it into the AC era on the DLW, how they would have looked rolling down the three track main through Harrison, or pulling into Summit. |
