From what I gather, the GG-1's were retired because it was uneconimical to convert them to 60 cycle current. Now here's a question for the "juice fans", Why can't they take the electrical guts out of an Amtrak E-60, (which are being retired), and re-fit a GG-1 body to operate on todays catenary? Just food for thought, remember the grass-roots group that got 4935 restored to PRR livery? Sure, it would cost some serious bucks, but it IS possible. <br /> Todd C.
