The B&P runs between its namesake cities using orange SD45s for power. Hauling coal and manifest traffic through the scenic hills and valleys of Pensylvania and New York, these ex SP monsters put on a great show. Taped in July, 1998, mostly between Salamanca and Punxsutawney, with a side trip to the Allegheny RR between Warren and Erie, with a 3 unit GP38/40 lashup.

When considering this video, something to remember: This is a shortline roughly 325 km long. Trains are not as common as on a mainline class 1, and they will not be hitting speeds of 110 km/hr either. It's a beautiful scenic route between the 2 cities the line is named after. And the trains are interesting to see, even if some appear more than once at a different location. Added to the video is a look at the Allegheny Railroad which is also worth seeing. I give the producer credit for making this video. It is as interesting as the scenery seen in it.
