NS GP40-2 #3043

B-0-K rumbles northward toward BO Tower and Botsford Yard on the BO Secondary from the south side of Kalamazoo with former Conrail GP40-2s #3043 and #3070 on the headend. This lengthy train had over 20 cars from local industries and Pfizer of Portage, including many boxcars and a few tankcars, and a number of empty coal hoppers from the Pfizer powerhouse. The spur on the left goes into the old "junkyard," which used to fill multiple gondolas weekly and sometimes require a daily switch, but has not been active since 2006. (reactivated early 2008) April 2007.
