Bergen East & Hudson Railroad

[Rscott417]

I decided I'm going to model some freelance motive power. The railroad is Bergen East & Hudson located in Hudson and Bergen County in NJ. They'll operate on my Northern Branch layout (whenever I can start building it). The idea behind it is to get some variety on the layout. The story behind them is they have a contract with CSX to switch the smaller freight branch lines that CSX neglects in Hudson county and eastern Bergen county but do not operate on NJ Transit tracks. To get started, I'm going to use 2 Athearn Genesis Delaware & Hudson GP38-2s and pretend that CP Rail didn't get all of them and I really like the blue and grey paint scheme. I'd eventually like to add 1 or 2 MoW vehicles to the fleet, maybe a smaller switcher of some kind like an sw1500 and a shoving platform. One of the ex-D&H engines will have my daughters name and her birthday as the road number. Here's an idea what they'll look like.
