I guess not many railbuffs knew that they had this little girl on the roster, it sat dead from the mid 1980s till about 1995, then was fired up again. From 1995 till it left the property, it was used just about everyday. During the 90s, it got a new turbo, new paintjob, but when NS took over, all ALCOs where retired. For a short time, The BRC used some old Super7s with the alcos in the late 90s. It would have been so neat if the BRC would have replaced the ALCOs with Super 7s..but they did not...oh well!
