Under the Heat, The Pennsylvania’s Electric GG1

Travel back to a time that no longer exists: The Pennsylvania Railroad, giant GG1 electrics and name passenger trains. The DVD opens with a brief history of Pennsy Electric engines showing the DD-1, the P-5 (boxcab) and P-5A (streamlined) and explains the circumstances that led to the development of the GG1. A wide variety of freight and passenger trains are shown, almost all on the high speed, four track raceway between Washington and New York: The Congressional, The Senator, The George Washington, The Crescent, The Silver Meteor and many others.

Watch GG1s crossing The Great Susquehanna and the Delaware River bridges. GG1s follow the Port Road to Harrisburg, and enter and leave both Washington, D.C. and Penn Station in New York. See Sunnyside Yard where the famous “name” trains were stored and assembled and Wilmington Shops from where the GG1s departed. Even has the famous Tuscan Red GG1 #4877 in action. Closes with third rail action along the Harlem River on the New York Central and shows the New Haven FL-9s arriving and leaving 125th Street station. This is all color, except footage of the P-5s
