I grew up with the B. & L. E. (Bessemer and Lake Erie). My hometown of Grove City, Pa. is where one of their diesel engine/locomotive shops and foundry was located. Many of my friends and family worked there. The Bessemer shops are long gone now. G.E. bought the line back some years so they could keep their Grove City, Pa. locomotive plant in operation. The B. & L.E. crosses a lot of good fishing waters. Here are some great pictures of the line from a friend of the family:

The Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad still holds several world records for freight and tonnage.
