Awaiting the torch
Title:  Awaiting the torch
Description:  The torch has been passed. Now these GG 1s await a different torch, the one that will put them permanently in their graves, at Harrison in April 1984. Interestingly, the lead G is the Union Station runaway engine from the famous Federal Express wreck in 1953, now going to scrap after a second life.
