Trains This Day/Month in the Past

[Charlie B]

December 12, 2002. 
     My boss called me to work the New Castle Industrial Railroad in New Castle, Pa. A short line with lots of business in the area.  Interchanges with Norfolk Southern and CSX.  
      He had recently purchased this Super 7 that Conrail had upgraded to a B30-9 R    

       One of the spots was inside this building that cut scrap that was later moved to Ellwood Quality Steel, another on line customer.    

       This is going past the locomotive shop on the way to Ellwood     

        And here is a picture to place in your basement to scare the varmints away.    

        I got to run this locomotive several days over the next 3 years and it was always a pleasure. Dale sold it to Ohio Central and it is going to be scrapped due to some kind of agreement with the EPA.
