Penn Eastern (PRL)
Title:  Penn Eastern (PRL)
Description:  I had to hit the Federal Register to figure this one out. At the time I shot this, the Pottstown line was actually operated by Penn Eastern. I've left 52 in as EPRY since it isn't in the PRL section. PRL would merge with East Penn in 2007.

Description:  Still awaiting departure to other East Penn operations, this old switcher sure blends in with the rest of the historical equipment arriving on the line. EMC constructed this unit in 1937 as a model NC for the Philadelphia Bethlehem & New England Railroad. Originally numbered PBNE 209, it was later rebuilt as an SW-900 and renumbered to its present road number, the first of two locomotive on the PBNE roster to be numbered as such. Photo taken with permission.
