Pennsy lives

Description:  This keystone on the nose of NJ DOT 4883 lasted into the early 80s, as did the stripe, making it one of the last G's to have any vestige of its PRR days to haul passengers.

Ready to go
Title:  Ready to go
Description:  NJ Transit GG 1 4883 is ready to head a shore train to South Amboy and a trade off with E 8s. It seems to have lost the PRR keystone it had below the headlight, but retains the single stripe, which it would have to retirement two years later.
