Pennsylvania Railroad class GG1 was a
good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the
good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it,
please do; it may then be
renominated. Review: May 18, 2007. |
I felt that some mention should be made that famed industrial designer Raymond Loewy should be made, since he had a hand in "styling" the GG1. Tom 00:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC) Tommel
I moved "This arrangement is called 2-C+C-2 in AAR wheel arrangement notation. Each driven axle was powered by two 410 hp (305 kW) GEA-627-A1 traction motors mounted above and to either side of the axle. Drive was through a reduction gear and a quill drive assembly." to a paragraph where it seemed to fi better then where it previously was. Tommel 16:38, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Can a reference to the presence of the GG1 in Railroad Tycoon be made? It was the best locomotive in the game, with a reliability considered "outstanding", the second-highest in the game. Afonso Silva 22:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I read somewhere that the GG-1 used three-phase motors, therefore preventing the lack of starting torque associated with single-phase motors. That means somehow the alternate current was rectified and three phases were generated on board again. The problem is I can't find the source and I haven't found that information elsewhere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Canonicus ( talk • contribs).

This is an electric locomotive, but there is an old film on Youtube showing a GG1 being filled with fuel oil and water ( [1]). Why would this be, if the locomotive is electric? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:28, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

Do we have more information about speed restrictions in the 1970s? This GAO report says (page 29) that they were limited to 85 MPH. Mackensen (talk) 13:58, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
Two editors with tens of thousands of prior edits have deleted my sourced status update since yesterday. Both the Henry Ford Museum (Dearborn, MI) and the Leatherstocking Railway Museum (NY State) will confirm my new facts, which apply as of 1/27/22. One of these “tyrant editors” snottily commented: “not the way we do business here.” I want a good explanation now; request restoration by ANY editor who is NOT a dictatorial, obsessed control-freak with nothing better to do; plus formal arbitration If these are not swiftly forthcoming. Thank you. 2600:1004:B145:683D:B492:7B4:B37A:C4C5 ( talk) 04:23, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
Continuing to force the inaccurate description of this engine as “sold to the Henry Ford Museum”, after it could not be moved there and after that museum deeded it back to the selling museum on 1/27/22, is an act of consummate stupidity. I have no interest in “playing games” with any of you Wikiaddicts, but all of you “tyrant editors” ought to have a primary duty to the current, as well as the past, TRUTH. The engine has sat on a siding in rural upstate NY for 38 years as I write, and will never leave it. Get your heads out of the clouds, and either delete the “sold to” clause or put back my far-better description of the legal status quo as of 1/27/22. Otherwise, all of you are nothing but willful vandals. 2600:1004:B145:683D:B492:7B4:B37A:C4C5 ( talk) 03:59, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
This museum is hardly about to publish the fact that it quietly donated that GG1 back to the Leatherstocking Museum on 1/27/22. Accordingly, I strongly recommend that you do one of two things if you keep rejecting my prior edits:
(1)Call the HFM at (313)982-6020 and ask for the appropriate Board member who was involved in the 1/27/22 donation back to Leatherstocking.
(2)Email my own source: (Redacted). He personally owns the other GG1 at his museum (also bought in 1983), but did the 1/27/22 deal with HFM on 1/27/22, after several decades of giving HFM’s paid contractors access to it to remove asbestos and PCB’s; repair brakes on it for a move that will now never happen; et al.
If these primary sources are not enough for you as Wiki Guardian Angel of Purity, just forget it. I can hardly force HFB to issue a press release on what to then is a minor, $15,000 return donation from an ancient purchase of done three decades ago.

On Monday AM, I will call the Chief Curator at the Henry Ford Museum: Matt Anderson. If he is not in, I will try for the Curator of Transportation: Marc Greuther. Either way, I will ask one or both of them to edit the Wiki GG1 article to remove the parenthetical text on “(purchased by the Henry Ford Museum)” under locomotive #4909. Will this satisfy your “rule book”? Please reply ASAP. Thank you. -DLP- 2600:1004:B114:5E9B:7581:95A1:A10C:A8F7 ( talk) 03:05, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
