The
Broadway Limited
Re-live
some great moments in history in miniature with Kato’s “Broadway
Limited” pulled by the
GG1. The “Broadway Limited” offered the finest in luxury travel
between New York and Chicago. You had a choice of six types of private
rooms ranging from cozy Roomette to luxurious Master Room with a private
bath and shower. It also had an Observation-Lounge and Club-Lounge cars
with game tables, magazines and refreshment buffets and a Master Dining
Car that served food in the traditional “Broadway Limited” manner.
The GG1 pulled this great train fast, smoothly, and quietly between New
York and Harrisburg leaving New York in the evening at 6:00 P.M. or arriving
in New York at 9:30 A.M. every day.
As the Broadway Lmtd often included a Santa
Fe "run through" sleeper, Kato is offering the "Regal
Spa" sleeping car for those who wish to model the complete 15 car
consist.

Raymond
Loewy designed, the Pride of the Pennsylvania
|
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 locomotives 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.

Following
their run on the Pennsylvania Railroad pulling
the Broadway Limited, in the 1970’s many
GG1’s continued on in their life running
on the Penn Central and then Amtrak, pulling
everything from freight to early Amtrak Superliners.
Many of these locomotives continued to operate
well into the 1980’s - their nearly
50 year lifespan a tribute to how powerful and
effective this locomotive truly was.
