Erie Lackawanna F7(A) No. 7151, former Bessemer & Lake Erie No 725, sits on display on the former EL right of way in Honesdale, PA. This unit was built by EMD in 1953. Interestingly, the unit was painted in EL livery when it was part of the Michigan Star Clipper Dinner Train in Kent, MI, before coming to the Stoubridge Line. It is hoped she'll be operable again in the near future.
The Michigan Star Clipper Dinner Train was a dinner train that operated in Michigan for 24 years, first out of Paw Paw, for approximately two years, then from Walled Lake, with trips heading from West Bloomfield to Wixom, where it connects to the CSX mainline and then back to West Bloomfield, MI. On December 31, 2008, the operators of the dinner train announced that they would be shutting down the route due to poor ridership and increased costs in fuel and other various expenses.
