PRR 4876 is a GG1-class electric locomotive located at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore Maryland United States. It was built in 1939 and was involved in the only accident to befall a GG1. In 1953 the locomotive overran the buffer stop and crashed into Union Station in Washington D.C. after its brakes failed. A temporary concourse floor was erected over 4876 (which had broken through the original) for the upcoming inauguration of Dwight D. Eisenhower.
