One year ago, BLE #905 leads the 'Misc job' through the H-2 signal bridge at SX North amidst newly fallen snow. Once a bustling corridor for US Steel, the Bessemer & Lake Erie is now a subsidiary of CN, and hosts just a single pair of daily iron ore trains to/from the Union RR and the shores of Lake Erie. The Misc job will supplement the ore trains several times per week, serving local customers in Greenville, Butler, Harmar, Grove City, and occasionally Girard.
The Misc job is the last place one can hope to see legacy 'Orange' power on the former BLE. Today the 905 is paired up with BLE 862 wearing DMIR 'Maroon'. The 862 is a former BLE SD38, traded to the DMIR during US Steel Ownership, and then brought back to Pennsylvania under CN
