Slug set |
| Description: |
A visit to the Allentown area would not be complete without stopping by the PB&NE to see what their power was doing. They were unique in the area, having switcher-slug sets that worked the Bethlehem Steel plant there. This set poses in front of the yard tower. The mill is in the background. |

Home road power |

The IHB was a busy road, with most Chicago area line haul roads running transfers over it. Every once in a while, youd catch some of the home road power, such as these three SWs rolling east just at sunset. |
