Great Shot! Never Seen the rear of a BL2 before. What type of assignments did the Rock give a BL2?

I only saw them in commuter and intercity passenger service. I assume they were originally used on "B"ranch "L"ines because they were made lighter than Geeps.

I'm glad you clarified what BL2 meant, Marty. Thank you. No wonder the Bangor & Arroostook had so many of them! Great photo!

Nice photo. Conveys alot. Clean BL2 from the rear/roof.Alco unit and all those express boxes. Rick,BL2s went out on various assignments. Frt,branch,suburban. I remember them frequently on Trains 15/16 Kansas City Rocket,KC/Mpls in late 64. In pairs,with FP7s,Es and even with DL109 621"Cristine" Memory is still intact,but have train sheets to verify.
