Bessemer SD38!!!!
Title:  Bessemer SD38!!!!
Description:  This is only my 2nd time to "The Bessemer" tracks in my life! Didn't catch a B&LE train working. This is all we saw! Luckily it is still around. I have never witnessed the "Black Bessemer" with IC SD70s (used from 2015-2021)! This SD38 is still painted in DMIR colors. (Canon T-90 35mm camera, Fuji C200 print film) Check out my picture from 2004 when I got success: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=4318716
