The GG1s were excellent, I do not mean to impugn them. However, the AEM7s and ALPs are more than worthy successors for the PRR's electrics.

Agreed.

I simply don't know enough about the E60s to comment on that part of the post, although I do have a question.

The E60 simply wasn't a high speed locomotive, but once it ceded that role to the AEM7s and settled into hauling Long Distance services between Philadelphia and DC up to NY it did a decent job.

So the E60s were comfortable at v < 90 mph ?

Their 3-axle trucks handled curves poorly, but otherwise it was fine.
