The 4882 was sold to New Jersey Transit in 1979. She continued in commuter service until the 29th of October '83 when she became the last GG1 to run on her own power. With the locomotive sporting a new paint job to spruce it up for its final day of operation, a magazine writer was prompted to write, “All day Saturday, the passage of the 4882 could be noted by the odor of fresh paint.”
