At the Railroad Museum of East Strasburg, Pa., indoors.

I see on the URHS site they plan on painting 4877 Brunswick green, but the StarTrak site mentions 4877 being restored to Tuscan. No date on the Startracks site to tell when it was written.

Thank you for humoring us, Otto! We won't let you down!

Meaning that maybe they should gut the GG1 and leaving a frame and making it a GG44 and reusing the parts from the '44s

And im only half kidding

Perhaps something that looks like THIS?

Well, at least if that was the case, which it probably won't be, the GG1 frame would be moving again. I easily see why the GG1's can't be restored to operation, because of asbestos, and stuff like that.

The asbestos/PCB abatement is only a minor issue in restoring a GG1.

All it takes is money
