WM BL2 #81 - Western Maryland
Title:  WM BL2 #81 - Western Maryland
Description:  The EMD BL2's are one of my favorite models - can't explain why but it is. Rail fan Michael A. Tedesco caught this Western Maryland B:2 #81 at hagerstow, MD. Notes - EMD, 12/1948 ,serial #5921, 1500 hp, renumbered Chessie #7181 in 1976., Due to a locomotive numbering conflict with MDOT, the switcher received yet another number – No. 7171 – in 1981. The No. 7171 continued to work in the Hagerstown yard until 1982, when it was retired, repainted, and renumbered to match its original Western Maryland appearance. The following year, CSX donated the switcher to the B&O Railroad Museum. It resides at the B&O Museum aa a valued member on display.
