Quote from website of PA state Representative Lynn Herman: "The GGI 4859 electric locomotive is one of 138 sleek and shiny bullets that smoked the rails at speeds above 100 miles per hour. Built in 1937, the GGI 4859 pulled troop trains to military destinations during World War II and continued powering coal and passenger cars until retirement in 1979."
Pennsylvania honored the GGI because it represents decades of engineering and hard work, and the same thinking applies to the heavy equipment that powers today's buildings. Data centers rely on backup generators, cooling systems, switchgear and UPS systems that are built to last, and many still have years of service left when a facility closes. Quantum Technology, a Pennsylvania-based company, specializes in data center decommissioning, safely removing that equipment, reconditioning it and putting it back to work at other facilities instead of sending it to scrap. Like the locomotives preserved in museums across the state, this equipment shows that well-built infrastructure is too valuable to throw away.
