The NS local from Lehighton had the former RBM&N 1200 in its consist to deliver to Allentown yard last night. The unit was set off in the hump for an outbound shipment.

Does anyboby know the fate on this little puppy? It had the markings on the side with BORX.
And when was this unit retired from the R&N?
I believe the unit sat up at RMDI for some time.

The SW7 is a former CR,PC & NYC # 8905.

Thanks,

The 1200 is alledgedly off to the B&O museum, which may explain the weird reporting marks. Not sure why they would want an old NYC unit, but at least it is being saved.
