When the 2400 class engs where based out of Scranton in 1973 they replaced 
the GP-7 units that where then in local service. When we had them on the B&P 
we begin to forcefully remove the whistles from then when they went under the 
Broad Steet Bridge on the lead going into the "Old Mill", Coply Cement. The 
bridge is curved. When on the B&P main the engines cleared alright. When 
going on the side track that went into the mill and also the switches into 
the team yard behind the Nazareth Depot came off this same track, the 
whistles hit the side of the bridge and where toren off. The engines where 
then sent to Scranton for repairs and came back with them relocated. 
Cleveland was not the only place with tight clearances.
