Black River GP9 752 Working Hillsborough NJ

The last stop of the day on April 11th was at Hillsborough NJ to find BR&W 752 working. This is probably the best EMD in the trip state area due to its Nathan P3, great sounding bell, original torpedoes on top, and the amount it smokes. Sadly, the engine only works a huge industrial area and doesn't go on the main. This is located near the NS Lehigh Line, CP Sully.

The best locomotive around 1960. Reliable and such that has survived for decades!!!

What a great local capture with some solid GP9 action. Those things are so solid even running solo.

[@oldprophet]
