hotrod59f100 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I hope this works out . I have not had any success in uploading pics . Found this on my road trip today .
hotrod59f100 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Anybody know the year . Looks like it could be a nice build. The Crain arm was about 35-45 ft tall . Edited March 29, 2012 by hotrod59f100
hotrod59f100 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 I think you meant Mack Crane. This is a Crain: sorry had a busy day and I just hurried up with my post . Any body know any thing about these?
CDA Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Its an LJ model, the ones the B model replaced. Not sure of the year. Early 50's I know. Where in the world is that!? I also noticed the old railroad engine! A GG1 from wht used to be the Pennsyvania RR. Is it just going away to the elements as well?

hotrod59f100 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 these are rusting away on rt 7 out side of oneonta ,NY
Wagoneer81 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 WOW!!! That's an old Pennsylvania GG-1 Electric road engine... That is a rare beast indeed! there were 140 built between 1934 and 1943 and the last one was retired in the early '80's... Most of them have been scrapped. That thing belongs in a museum!

The New Haven Railroad had a yard in my hometown when I grew up in Connecticut. I road these often when we to the the train to the city (what we called Manhattan). They were they very common in the 1960 and 70s in the North East corridor.

CDA Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 You have found something there! Not to mention the old Mack!!!
JMD904 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 What a shame all that rusting away! I say the GG-1 should donated to a appreciative musuem as well as the Mack truck! The GG-1's can't run on today's lower voltages.

BigBad Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 these GG1's used to look great in Pennsylvania livery. A classic definitely.
Jim B Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I think there's one of thise GG1 on display over at the New York State Fair Grounds.
