P&W 2201 1978-2017
It is with much sadness, that I have to report that after 39 years of faithful service, P&W GE B23-7 2201 has been removed from service due to a major mechanical issue. Built in 1978 as a one unit order from GE, the 2201 has logged hundreds of thousands of miles on the P&W system. It worked system wide hauling everything from stacks to coal to freight and hauled billions of tons of stone. After an engine rebuild and changeout just over 10 years ago, the cab signal and ACSES systems were removed and she spent her remaining time in local service. In her last full year of service, we had her assigned to WONR paired with Super-7 2216 passing under the former B&A-NYC Webster Branch at North Main St. in Webster, MA on April 25, 2016.
