They were used over the heavily tunneled and steeply graded Cascade Mountains in Washington, where heavy freight had to be muscled to the coast. Two motor generators in each unit converted 11,000v a.c. to 550v d.c. for the six axle-hung GE motors. GN ended electric operations in 1956, and the Pennsylvania Railroad bought all eight Y1s a year later. The Pennsy reclassified the engines as FF2s after shopping them for operations on the Pennsy lines. Used mainly in helper service between Philadelphia and Paoli and Thorndale and Columbia PA, these eight electrics did the work of 15 diesels, which were transferred elsewhere. The Premier Y1 boxcab is a valuable addition to any electric railroad and will look and operate well with the M.T.H. catenary system. Did You Know? There were so many long tunnels on the Great Northern's 72-mile-long Cascade Mountain route that the line had to be electrified to prevent crews and passengers from asphyxiating in the exhaust of steam locomotives powering up the steep grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Remotely Controlled Proto-Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Precision Flywheel Equipped Motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Speed Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated Number Boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectionally Controlled Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-Cast Truck Sides, Pilots and Fuel Tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic Paint Scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Handrails and Decorative Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted Cab Interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted Marker Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Engineer Cab Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpinning Roof Fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Body Side Grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricately Detailed Die-Cast Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Wheels, Axles and Gears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Pantographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto-Sound 2.0 With The Digital Command System featuring Passenger Station Proto-Effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Measures:19 x 2 5\/8 x 3 3\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates On O-72 Curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eNOTE: NOS (New Old Stock) \/ USED items are as-is and not returnable.
