I asked if we could visit former Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 electric 4935.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made these fireman&#8217;s side views with my Lumix LX7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was pretty neat to explore the steam-era streamlined electric locomotive. While at the museum I bought my dad a GG1 4935 T-shirt which I delivered to him in Massachusetts a couple of days later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 1, 1980, Pop, my brother Sean and I photographed this classic machine together at New Haven, Connecticut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"710\"
