SMS Shortline Operations @ Bridgeport, NJ, with a Baldwin S12 Locomotive

[@Tiredoldchannel]

Thats one awesome looking Baldwin! Very rare to see one in operation these days. Nice job

Thanks! Yea, I believe SMS is one of the last shortlines to use Baldwin Switchers. They actually used a ex-ATSF B23-7 in Bluebonnet paint until 2018, when they sold it and started using their fleet of Baldwins, which had previously been used on very seldom occasions.

My grandfather worked with S12 Baldwin No.200 on the White Pine Railroad back in the day

Awesome catch! This is quite a nice railroad, hope to see it in action one day.

Thanks! One day we can hopefully make a trip down there to see them running.

Nice catches !! Are certain days better than others to go view the operations in Bridgeport ? My brother and I want to see these Baldwins first hand. We live in Milford, DE ( an hour and a half away, roughly, and don't wanna get skunked... I'm guessing it's weekday operations only ?

Thanks! I would say you're almost guaranteed to see them running on any weekday, mornings are the best time since the crew is usually on duty close to 9 AM. Although they sometimes run on weekends, it's much more unpredictable and sporadic.
