Lionel - 2233570 B&LE F7 AB Set, Legacy

From the shores of Lake Erie to the industrial furnaces of Pennsylvania and Ohio, the Bessemer and Lake Erie was a critical link in America's economy. A fleet of orange and black F7s kept this conveyer of coal, ore and finished materials moving for decades. In fact, the Bessemer kept several of its F's in regular service into the 1980s and beyond. Many now survive in new paint schemes on railroads all across the country. But long before they were parading fancy dinner trains, these locomotives were gritty workhorses keeping the mills rolling. This is heavy industrial railroading at its best.
