It's rare for B&E road trains other than RJED and EDRJ to have anything other than an NS SD60E leading (due to PTC requirements over Keolis), so today's B101 was an exception. The train's SD60E leader had trouble overnight, which necessitated a crew bringing BERX C40-8W #7879 east out of Mechanicville, NY to rescue the train at Buckland, MA.
