In continuation of their 50th anniversary celebration, the Black River and Western Railroad decided to make their own "heritage unit." Former Lehigh Valley SW1 #112 has been repainted from it's LV scheme and renumbered to 400. 400 was the number of one of the first diesels to operate on the Black River up until the early 1980's, and was scrapped in the year 2009. The locomotive wore the same paint scheme that former LV #112 wears today, complete with the original BRW logo on the cab.
Serving small industries in Hunterdon County for 50 years, the Black River and Western serves as an active line and a window to the past of New Jersey with rural farms and small creeks.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
