Bethlehem Steel GE 70 Ton switcher roster?

[ripvanwnkl]

I just got unlettered Bachmann #82057 N scale 70 tonner in Bethlehem Steel livery.  Anyone have info on Bethlehem Steel's 70 ton diesel roster?  Bachmann has two lettered Bethlehem Steel 70 tonners with #56 and #44 numbers.  Any other prototypical numbers?  Thanks!

Check these out, see if it helps.

Also, Google BSC and check out images.

It seems the Bachmann thing is kind of a fantasy.

I don't understand the corporate dynamics, but in Johnstown PA they had the Conemaugh and Black Tick RR and in Baltimore MD the Patapsco and Back River RR.  Similar paint schemes.

These are not 70 tonners but it gives you another lead on Bethlehem.

 Almost certainly fantasy locos. Bethlehem Steel had names for all of its various plant railroads, the equipment was not lettered Bethlehem Steel like those Bachmann models.

PBNE - Bethelehem plant (Phildalephia, Bethlehem, and New England)(yeah they got a little carried away with that one!)

PBR - Patapsco and Black River - Sparrows Point plant

Cornwall Railroad - Cornwall Iron Mines near Lebanon PA

Cambria and Indiana - coal mines in west central PA, Indiana County

UMP - Upper Merion and Plymouth - Allen WOod Steel plant in Conshohocken, PA

SBRR - South Buffalo Railway - Bethlehem Steel plant in South Buffalo, NY, now Mittal Steel.

Steelton and Highspire Railroad - plant in Highspire, PA, just south of Harrisburg along the Susquehanna river, also now a Mittal property

ANd a whole lot more - basically everywhere there was a Bethlehem Steel operation. Color schemes were pretty much the same, just different names. 

Rosters are available for nearly all of them. Lots of ALco switchers, EMD switchers, a few Plymouths, some various GEs but none of the ones I've seen so far list a 70 tonner.
