The classic Bessemer lash-up of three tunnel motors leads 22 loads of ore south, under the Kelsey cantilever signal.
Storm clouds loom over western Pennsylvania as what is now a rare leader, SD38AC 867, races to beat the storm back to Greenville.
After a very quick recrew, the 907 is on the move again, with all three Tunnel Motors roaring, as the train accelerates back up to track speed.
In one of the rarest moves I have ever seen on this railroad, a stray SD38AC bask in the sun while waiting for a crew to take it south.
Many railfans braved the cold to watch this train. With one B&LE tunnelmotor sitting at the shops retired who knows how much longer these ones will last.
A southbound holds the siding as this northbound rolls on by.
