Bessemer & Lake Erie F7s, Kaylor Yard
After stopping in Butler, PA, I headed out on PA 68. My next stop was supposed to be in Brookville, PA for the Pittsburg & Shawmut RR. I didn't know that BLE had a small yard here and I certainly wasn't expecting to see any F7s that day. But there they were, visible from the highway.
I believe BLE kept these three F units because a nearby branch couldn't take heavier locomotives.
