| 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.
