Photo #66: Though this photo from the PRRH Collection is not in our area, nevertheless, it is an interesting photo.
Taken in Hagerstown, MD in February 1972 during a Reading steam engine excursion, Western Maryland Railways BL2 #81 was on display. Behind the 81 is a Western Maryland slug #138-T as well as 137-T.
Built by EMD in 1948, BL2 #81 and #82 were rated at 1500 hp.
Today, WM BL2 #81 and one of these slugs is in the B&O Museum in Baltimore. WM BL2 #82 is in Elkins, WV on a tourist railroad. - Rick
