Remarks & Notes 
The BL2s were rather unsuccessful EMD design being a cross between an F-unit and a road switcher. The C&O owned 14 (the largest fleet) and used them almost exclusively in Michigan to power locals on branches with light rails. Here C&O BL2 85 is at Dearborn , Michigan in October 1961. Photo by D. Wood , photo part of my slide collection.

An assortment of photos of the distinctly unique (and 'cute') little locomotive EMD ever built, the BL2! I understand it also makes a tasty sandwich..Oh, that's a BLT! (When a new BL2 photo is "ordered", it will be served fresh!)
