B&P GP9's 206, 203, & 202 are in storage at
Riker Yard in Punxsatawney, PA. B&P was formed out of
former CSXT (B&O) trackage running from Eidenau, PA
(near New Castle) to Buffalo, NY. The B&P's sister
road, the Rochester & Southern, runs from
Rochester to Silver Springs (interchange with Conrail and Canadian Pacific
on the CR's Southern Tier line). When B&P was formed, it inherited a bunch of
former C&O GP9's (including these) which are now rendered useless. Several
of these units, including 202 and 203 above, were sold to the Finger Lakes Railway
in New York State. Photo by Melanie Good |

The Johnsonburg Shifter was working in Johnsonburg on
former Alleghany Railroad trackage (which runs from an
Erie, PA with Conrail's Chicago Line to Conrail's Buffalo
Line at Emporium, PA). The B&P purchased the ALY
several years ago. The B&P and the ALY parallel for
several miles between Ridgway (site of a recent
derailment and subsequent chemical spill) and
Johnsonburg. The Johnsonburg Shifter this day was powered
by Rochester & Southern GP40 103. Photo by Melanie Good |
