A K-2 was assigned to the transfer run between Oakwood yard and the interchange with the NYC and GTW at West Detroit. This is an unusual event as the transfers are usually handled by eight coupled switchers. A class B-7 switcher waits in the hole and after the passage of the transfer it will continue to work the local industries.
The K-2 is a modified BLI light Mikado, the B-7 is a Hallmark import from the late 1970's. The B-7 is the latest model off my work bench. It has a WOW4 decoder, a KeepAlive unit, and LED lighting in the engine and tender.
