BLE 643 in 1983. Shenango Yard. Greenville, PA

            Part of an ongoing series to show the then and now of this iconic steam engine.
On this day back in July of 1983 I was able to attend the movement of freshly repainted B&LE RR 2-10-4 H1g No. 643 from it's home in the BLE roundhouse in Greenville to it's temporary destination at the Union RR's roundhouse in Hall, PA.
Here, 643 is finally hooked up to the P&LE consist in Shenango yard that will pull her to Hall.
