Paul Koprowski The East Penn Railroad’s Manheim operation has received some new power in the form of ex-SP B30-7 7874. Built by GE in 1979, it was moved here from the ESPN Lancaster Northern line to work with MNJ 44-ton 2 on former Reading rails. Seen from the Manheim Community Park which borders the tracks.

  1. Have we come full circle, Chris? Wasn’t this the genesis of blogging – a list of links in a web log?
    Sounds like an enjoyable tea break you’ve got tea’d up.

  2. I love the way they patched in an update years of service number.

    • Sort of like those “Days since last incident” safety boards. My dry sense of humour would like to add: while not always on the same railroad.

      So glad you picked up on a detail I hadn’t noticed.

      Thanks

      Chris
