Remarks & Notes

A pair of the Monon's distinctive BL2s haul a Clearing Yard-Hammond transfer run through Pullman Junction in South Chicago. The EMD BL2, a late-1940s transitional model between cab units and road switchers, looked like nothing else on rails.

An assortment of photos of the distinctly unique (and 'cute') little locomotive EMD ever built, the BL2! I understand it also makes a tasty sandwich..Oh, that's a BLT! (When a new BL2 photo is "ordered", it will be served fresh!)
