Look ma, no wire
Title:  Look ma, no wire
Description:  A pair of GG 1s that are slated to go to a yet to be established museum have been acquired from Amtrak, and are now sitting at the connection from the D&H to the old Cooperstown branch, at this time operated by the NYSW. I have a connection to 4932, as it was the engine I rode behind on the Broadway from NY to Harrisburg in August 1978.

Title:  Long way from home
Description:  The Central NY Leatherstocking RHS acquired a couple of GG 1s for display, which have been sitting a Cooperstown Jct for some time. Here we see them, along with the plaque noting their significance. On a personal note, Amtrak 4932 was the engine that pulled the Broadway from NY to Harrisburg when I rode it in August 1978
