The Bay Line Railroad was taken over by Genesee & Wyoming, the same company that owns the Berkshire & Eastern. Upon the G&W take over of operations from Pan Am, excess power G&W had from other railroads they own was sent here to Massachusetts to aid in the start up the B&E as they were short on locomotives. Along with the Bay Line engines, B&E received engines from the Eastern Alabama Railway, Ottawa Valley Railway, Quebec & Gatineau Railway, and Chicago, Fort Wayne & Eastern Railroad. It is pretty common to see locomotives shared by G&W owned shortlines.
Your videos are the best I've seen. Such good quality stuff and no music just raw trains
Thank you, that means a lot to me!
Cool
Thanks.
Why s the Bay Line there? New interchange for them?
