Penn Central GG-1 # 4877 (former Pennsylvania Railroad) leads an afternoon eastbound passenger train past tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1970

Penn Central GG-1 # 4877 (former Pennsylvania Railroad) leads an afternoon eastbound passenger train past tower SS38 at Stamford, Connecticut, 1970. It appears that a former New Haven Osgood-Bradley coach and a Stainless Steel parlor car are dead-heading within the consists head-end cars. This train is another example of the mixed bag equipment that was found on the trains after the PC takeover. With the former New Haven passenger electric locomotives gone it is good to see a passenger train being led by a motor, and at least the GG-1 has a familiar wheel arrangement.
