The Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 is an electric locomotive that was designed for high-speed passenger and freight service. Built between 1934 and 1943, it features a distinctive streamlined design with a long, slender body and a unique, iconic shape. The GG1 was known for its powerful performance, capable of reaching speeds up to 100 mph, and its ability to operate under varying voltage systems. It played a crucial role in improving rail transportation on the Northeast Corridor and remains an important symbol of American rail history. Operated by a couple of companies like: obviously the Pennsylvania railroad (PRR), Penn Central, Conrail, Amtrak and New Jersey Transit. It first run on January 28, 1935 and final run on October 29, 1983.
I had always dreamed of experiencing the golden age of railroads, particularly the mighty PRR GG1. After months of tinkering, I finally built my time machine—a mix of old tech and futuristic design. With a deep breath, I activated it and whoosh—I was transported to the 1940s.
Stepping out, I was greeted by the sight of a gleaming GG1 at the station, its massive steel form reflecting the afternoon sun. An old conductor, looking unfazed by my arrival, invited me aboard. Inside, the train was a masterpiece of wood paneling and brass fittings.
As the GG1 powered up, the train surged forward, its electric engines humming smoothly along the tracks. The landscape blurred past as I marveled at the raw power of the locomotive beneath me. The ride felt surreal, like I was floating through history. The wind, the sound, the sense of being part of something grand—it was everything I had imagined and more.
For a brief moment, I wasn't just a time traveler. I was a passenger in the past, riding the rails with the legends of the age.

The ex-metroliner cab car is a NPCU (non-powered control unit) cab car made from the Budd Metroliner Electric multiple unit, when Amtrak inherited the metroliners from penn central when it started in May 1st 1971, during their run they were proven to be mechanically very unreliable, Since The trainsets were, except for the propulsion systems, a near-identical match to the Amfleet coaches were converted (29 of them) into NPCU cab cars. While the rest either converted into geometry cars, work trains, DOT Trains or scrapped. The fleet numbers for them are 9630–9652, 9709, 9822, 9825–9828. And primary used on the keystone, valley flyer and Hartford lines. They along with the amfleet coaches will be replaced by Siemens venture/airo trainsets in the early 2030s
One day on the Amtrak Keystone train to New York, I realized this would be one of the last times I’d experience the Metroliner cab car before the Siemens Venture trainsets took over. A group of girls boarded a few rows behind me, their laughter cutting through the train’s hum. One girl stood out: a VSCO girl with an oversized scrunchie, high-waisted shorts, and of course, her bright Pink hydroflask
As she fumbled with her drink, the sounds of “sksksks” filled the air, followed by an exaggerated “and I oop!” I glanced back, and saw her filming a TikTok while her friends dropped their flasks. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more chaotic, she caught my eye and shot me a bright smile. “Do you want to be in it?” she called, her voice bursting with energy.
“Sure, why not?” I replied, feeling my annoyance fade. Maybe this was the future of train travel: a mix of the old and the new, blending memories with modern trends.
As I joined their TikTok, we struck silly poses, and I found myself laughing at the absurdity of it all. For a moment, we were just kids having fun on a train, capturing a fleeting memory. Despite their vibrant energy being so different from my past train rides, I realized that change could be okay. I might miss the Metroliner cab car, but this unexpected adventure would stick with me long after the trains had changed.

A type of car air freshener that somehow have a pretty unique and gross scent. It smells like Ass, Poop, Decomposing dead body, A garbage landfill , decaying food, and the inside of a public restroom at a truck stop. It's the opposite of fresh, like if the idea of fresh were to take a nap in a dumpster for a few weeks.
The word Derived from “Auto” as in automobile and “Toilette” as in toilet, because how bad it smells

"I thought I grabbed a vanilla-scented air freshener at Seven-Eleven, but now my car smells like a sewage plant and expired milk. Guess I accidentally bought an Auto-Toilette."

In ships, there is this hole that ejects water on the side of the ship called the scupper. And it’s referred as “a ship’s Vagina.” So butterflies in my scupper is like the human version of butterflies in my pussy. but for ships, it’s where a ship finds an other attractive ship that she has that tingling sensation in her scupper and she would like to date and/or sexually engage with that other vessel.
Oil Tanker: Man I have this huge crush on that sexy masculine tugboat. And as he was towing that big cruise ship, I was flirting at him and I then I have this butterflies in my scupper feeling.
Container Ship: girl, next time when he isn’t busy just go up by him and ask if he wants to go out on a date with you.
Cargo Ship: girl he’s so hot, I heard that he makes 3,400hp and his engine is the same one that is used on CSX and BNSF trains.
