The Pennsylvania Railroad's GG1 class of electric locomotives were built between 1934 and 1943 at the PRR shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania, with a total of 139 units constructed. They remained in service with the PRR's successors until the early 1980's. The GG1 became one of the most recognized and famous classes of locomotive worldwide.

While the famous industrial designer Raymond Loewy did not design the shape of the GG1 electric locomotives, he did improve their looks by recommending the use of a smooth, welded construction instead of a riveted assembly, along with a pinstriped paint scheme to highlight their smoothly rounded forms; the "streamlined" style, evoking speedy travel, was popular at the time.

Re-live some great moments in history in miniature with Kato’s “Broadway Limited” pulled by the GG1 and EMD E8 locomotives. The Broadway Limited would be pulled by both sets of engines as it would make its journey across both electrified and non-electrified lines between New York City and Chicago, IL. The GG1 was a classic Raymond Loewy design, and is one of the most iconic and recognizable electric engines in US railroad history!
