Name	Type	Comments	Date

Rick C	General	Great Shot! Never Seen the rear of a BL2 before. What type of assignments did the Rock give a BL2?	7/10/2007 4:44:55 PM

Marty Bernard	General	I only saw them in commuter and intercity passenger service. I assume they were originally used on "B"ranch "L"ines because they were made lighter than Geeps.	7/10/2007 5:35:01 PM

Ron Moraca	General	I'm glad you clarified what BL2 meant, Marty. Thank you. No wonder the Bangor & Arroostook had so many of them! Great photo!	9/17/2008 9:03:04 PM

Mike Maskel	General	NICE SHOT	1/24/2015 10:56:01 AM
