BLE 867 South
It is nothing short of a miracle that the time capsule of a railroad that is the Bessemer and Lake Erie still exists in its current form. After five years of deprivation, a trio of Bessemer orange EMD's is once again gracing the rails of the mainline of western Pennsylvania. After the much anticipated return of SD38-2 No. 878, it was only a short time before these three engines ended up together on the road.
Yesterday was the trio's first southbound run with cars and they are seen here throttling up at Keisters (south of Branchton, PA) after a brief stop north of the signals. Perfect temps, cloudless skies, and good friends made this day one to remember, especially for the few of us who never had the opportunity to photograph consists like this when they ran on the daily. Here's to hoping sights like this become common once again.
