[PRR-talk] GG1 4909 on the move soon

[Bruce Smith]

Folks,

As some of you know, the Henry Ford Museum purchased GG1 4909 from  
the Leatherstocking Railway Historical Society.  The Oneonta New York  
Daily Star reported yesterday that the loco is being readied for its  
journey from New York to Dearborn, Michigan.  You can read about it  
here:

Alert Pennsy fans may catch the move in the coming months!
Christian Overland, vice president for museums and collections at The  
Henry Ford was quoted as saying that "the GG-1 will be restored to  
the deep burgundy with gold pinstripes the locomotive was originally  
painted with as part of the Pennsylvania Railroad fleet".

I guess maybe someone needs to tell the Henry Ford that 4909 was  
originally painted DGLE ;^)

Regards
Bruce
