NPBL

NS owned and operated shortline here in VA. they operate with GP15-1's and a few MP15's.

All GP15-1's are former CR, except for the 1437, which wears NS paint, and is currently being used by NS.

NPBL GP15-1 roster: 1400, 1430(CR blue), 1442, 1451, 1437(NS), 1435

Great photos! I knew NS supplied units for them, but have not been up there in 10+ years...

FYI, I caught NS 1431 this past week here in Raleigh,,, a regular in these parts....

1431 is still painted in CR Operation Lifesaver scheme...

Didn't they use to use SW1500's or MP15's????

NPBL? What does that stand for, please? Also, I see the GP15-1 letters stenciled on the cab.
