I grew up riding behind GG1s. I always thought it was fun leaving Newark southbound to feel the acceleration push me back in my seat as the loco throttled up to cruising speed. But then I rode behind a nearly new AEM7 in the same situation, and its acceleration REALLY pushed me back in my seat! I guess they didn't call them Swedish meatballs for nothing.
