Summary
"When the Pennsylvania Railroad decided that a better locomotive was needed to take the reins from the P5a's as the chief electric locomotives, it immediately went to work. Within months, the GG1 and R1 were designed, built and tested. In selecting the GG1, the Standard Railroad of the World chose a design that would exceed even its expectation, outliving the Pennsy and its sad successor, Penn Central." [foreword]
