PRR 4876 is a Pennsylvania Railroad Class GG1 built in January 1939 at the PRR's Altoona Works in Altoona, Pennsylvania, United States that was involved in one of the most famous wrecks in history, the 1953 Federal Express Runaway Train Wreck.

On January 15, 1953, 4876 while hauling the Federal Express, overran the station platform at Union Station, Washington DC, and crashed into the station concourse, falling through the floor and into the basement of the station. Although nobody was killed, 43 people were injured in the accident. It was discovered that the accident was caused by a brake defect on one of the passenger cars in the consist. This would later become the inspiration for the train wreck scene in the 1976 film "Silver Streak".

After the accident, 4876 was cut into two pieces and was later welded back together. It remained in service for approximately 30 more years with the PRR, Penn Central, Conrail, and finally New Jersey Transit. In 1983 the locomotive was retired from service and donated for preservation. It now resides at the B&O Railroad Museum where it is placed on static display.
