Bulletin: GG-1

Manufacturer: ESU, Item number: S0559, Version: V1-R1

The Iconic GG-1 is known around the world as the American Electric Streamliner. Built by GE and the famous Pennsylvania Railroad Altoona Shops the GG-1s were constructed between 1934 to 1943. Operating in a multitude of paint schemes the GG-1s ran on PRR, Penn Central, Conrail, Amtrak, and NJT. Primarily they ran on the North East Corridor between New York City and Washington DC. They did occasionally see service on other electric lines around the north east United States.

Please Note:
ESU is working hard to utilize all of the abilities of the LokSound 5 technology by mastering brand new files from original audio. As this process takes time we understand that customers may wish to have files that are not yet mastered. For this reason, this file is a converted LokSound 4 file so it can be used on LokSound 5 state of the art decoders. Once the new version of this file has been remastered to the full LokSound capabilities you can use the ESU LokProgrammer to upgrade your decoder for free!
