"Old Rivets" in her Golden Years (GG-1)

Got a chance to visit "Old Rivets", Pennsylvania Railroad's original GG-1 (#4800) at the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum in Strasburg, PA across the street from the Strasburg Rail Road.

While setting up for a night photo shoot at the Museum later that night, I noticed the sun setting on "Old Rivets" which was out in the yard and couldn't help myself but to grab my camera to get a shot of her!

Luck favored me that day as the engine is typically coupled to another piece of equipment in the yard but not that night due to some recent moves.

Enjoy!

There's a really interesting and detailed history to go along with the image.

Sister unit #4935 sits protected inside as seen here during a previous photo shoot.
