Another Bygone Era
The era of Illinois Central SD70's on the Bessemer has come to a close, just as other periods of various power have on this ill-fated road. Now all that remains are a few straggling B&LE painted units, relegated to local service a few times a week and CN SD70M-2's for the once a day ore turn. A trio of IC SD70's lead a southbound U702 from the docks towards a recrew at Osgood and eventually the URR in Pittsburgh. The runs north of Greenville are now mostly done overnight and the southbound departs Greenville for Pittsburgh well before sunrise most days.
