Albany & Eastern Railroad B23-7 4201, sitting in the AERC's facility in Lebanon, was built by General Electric in April 1978 for Conrail (CR 1904). It was later sold to Metro-North (MNCW 1904, later renumbered MNCW 802). It was eventually picked up by Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF 4201), being sold to Rick Franklin Corporation (RFRX 4201) in December 1999. RFRX leased it to the Ohio Central Railroad for a time, and also to the Port of Tillamook Bay (from 8/00 through 6/01).
