Seems to me there is enough going on about this to warrant a separate thread, starting with various power delivered prior to September 1.

According to another site, 4 Dash 8s from New Orleans are on the way, BERX 4001-4004.

This is in addition to earlier post in Patriot Corridor thread on forecast arrivals of power from Eastern Alabama Railway and Quebec Gatineau Railway.

Later edit/addition: And the hits just keep on comin'. BAYL 6409 reported heading to BERX. So is it safe to safe the original allocation was insufficient?

Those must be the ex-NOPB, exx-NS Dash 8-40Cs that were recently for sale, and are now listed as sold. Externally they are in very rough shape. Hopefully they run better than they look.

Per Ulmer, it is still BAYL 3019

Also from above:
BERX 4001 - NS 8750
BERX 4002 - NS 8751
BERX 4003 - NS 8759
BERX 4004 - NS 8760

Facebook post today shows Ottawa Valley Railway 3029 leading ED9 to Springfield. I may be mistaken, but I do not recall any previous sightings of this visitor from the Great White North. In any event, it is a rare sighting of a G&W paint scheme at the front in BERXland.
