Viewing Album:  Bethlehem engine terminal's transition from Alco's and EMD switchers, part 2.
 
By:Alan Page
Dates:5/29/1982 - 12/31/1988
Album Info:In Part 1: From a Lehigh Valley Alco and EMD switcher home, the Bethlehem, Pa engine terminal saw a transition away from RS11’s, SW8’s, SD9’s, and GP7’s after July, 1979. In Part 2: By May, 1982, an RS3M, an ex-RDG GP7, and LV and EL EMD switchers were idle. In 1988, Bethlehem’s local traffic and yard chores were being handled by EMD workhorse GP38’s and GP38-2’s. In nearby Easton, former LV and CNJ tracks and bridges were quiet and appeared long idled.
