Last Whale Belly
Title:  Last Whale Belly
Description:  BML 315 departs the Rockland Branch for the final time on Midcoast Railservice Train RB-2 on 3/19/2024. Formly DPCX 315, the car was donated to the BML where it will be preserved as the last surviving NK-18 covered hopper. All other cars under the DPCX reporting mark are assumed to have been cut up. This was the first time the car departed the branch since arriving in the 90s.
