The Pennsylvania Railroad Class GG1 is a class of streamlined electric locomotives built for the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), in the northeastern United States. The class was known for its striking art deco shell, its ability to pull trains at up to 100 mph, and its long operating career of almost 50 years.

宾夕法尼亚铁路GG1型电力机车 （PRR GG1）是 宾夕法尼亚铁路公司 从1930年代中期至1980年代初广泛使用的一型客货两用 电力机车。 列车由 奇异公司 和阿尔图纳机车厂生产，从1935年至1943年共生产139台，运用于美国东北地区宾夕法尼亚铁路网。 该型机车亦被宾夕法尼亚中央铁路， 美国国铁 和 纽泽西公共运输公司 继承并继续使用至1983年方才全部退役。 GG1型机车长79英尺6英吋（24.23 m），自重475,000磅（215吨）。 [1] 机车车架分为前后两段，由 杵臼关节 …

The GG1 included a continuous rating of 4,680 horsepower, which could sometimes peak as high as 10,000 horsepower, giving the locomotive impressive acceleration and traction.

The PRR put both locos through their paces and the GG1 came out on top with slightly better tracking characteristics. 4800 (originally 4899) was the prototype for the line and was the only one to have a rivited body.

The GG1 was a 25 cycle (HZ) machine for which the PRR maintained their own substation to provide the 25 cycle current. Locomotives today are capable of operating on 25 HZ or 60 HZ and most railroads are using 60 HZ so they can buy power directly from the power companies and avoid the expense of maintaining their own substations.

2017年3月6日 · Charisma, durability and versatility characterized the Pennsylvania Railroad's GG1 locomotive. The "G," as admirers called it, long served as a symbol of the PRR, and its unusual shape was the image generations of people associated with the railroad. The locomotive was PRR-built, and its sleek design came from famed industrial designer Raymond ...

As if planned from the very beginning, when the catenary reached Washington, DC, in 1935, the PRR had a remarkable main line passenger locomotive, the GG1. The prototype, number 4800, was on hand to participate in the inaugural run from Union Station in Washington to Penn Station in New York City.

The GG1 Revealed, the first comprehensive look at the locomotive’s engineering and aesthetic design evolution, covers the time from its conception until the first production units began rolling down the tracks. The resulting story challenges many long-held beliefs about the locomotive’s history—especially in regards to the contribution of ...
