900 is out of the shops, with fresh CN paint. Notice how the font is smaller compared to 902.

I started a website recently which features a complete current roster of existing Bessemer engines still in orange and every unit currently on Bessemer property. I hope the site will come in handy for anyone curious about the current roster. If there is anything incorrect or you want to add information, and photos please let me know! Hope you guys enjoy! blefans.webs.com/b-le-roster-list

CN 5336 which has been in storage for over a year is now off the property. Must be heading to Homewood as its going via the NS and not B&P back to CN home rails in CA.

CN5336 @ Greeneville m.youtube.com/watch?v=BRTg8o7jGBoI see a couple of old boxcars in the distance at the beginning between the Bessemer & Erie mains. Ex-B&LE storage, I'm guessing. Anyone have photos? There well inside the plant, so unless there's access from the Erie side, would have to be from insiders. Actually a list of any remaining cars along the right of way would be useful. With the demise of Mercer Lime hoppers, has to be under a dozen or so.

Wow, down to 7 units. Will this increase after lake shipping resumes?
The one bright side is the % oc Bessemer units has increased, improving the likelihood of catching them in service. I still hear the Union most nights dragging loads up to N. Bessemer, so their must be some traffic. 1 or 2 trains a day?

Did the 1019 leave without anybody noticing it?

I heard there was a pair of SD40-2W's coming along with another Death Star.
I believe the 1019 left in March or so? Left with I think 1032 via the B&P at Butler. Nobody documents their movement cause they're not in color.
