GG1 4876, the locomotive involved in that accident, was one of the last GG1's retired in the early 1980's. It still exists in the B&O Museum collection although it is in pretty decrepit condition. Altoona Shops has had a reputation for being the best railroad back shop in the country for many generations. Most of the PRR's steam engines were actually built there although some were ordered from the commercial builders (mostly Baldwin in Eddystone, PA). A lot of repair and rebuilding of locomotives and cars still takes place at that facility which is nowadays owned and operated by Norfolk Southern. |
