Viewing Album: Sad days when ageless GG1's days are over. BN and RI U-boats also head to scrap.

By:	Alan Page
Dates:	2/15/1982 - 2/15/1982
Album Info:	Conrail rolls a pair of "ageless" GG1's to scrap at Newark in February, 1982. The grimy CR black on the G's was a fitting "funeral drape" mourning the loss of a truly great locomotive. At Naparano Iron and Metal, a number of Burlington Northern and Rock Island U-boats await their last days.
