Hey all,
I was up in Two Harbors a few weekends ago and I came across the former Erie Mining F9 #4211. On the pilot "Belzona Bullet" was stenciled it was not big or anything and was in the same "font" as a "FUEL" marking or any of the other misc notes on a diesel locomotive. This just struck me as odd, does anyone know what this is?
Belzona
Belzona is a product used for the repair of machinery of all types. They have a web site at
http://www.belzona.com/prod1k.aspx which explains it all. I personally have used it to repair cavitation damage of the lower liner seal area of an Alco 251 engine.

Sounds like they may have used a lot of it on #4211 (which wouldn't be surprising), hence the nickname.
haha, yes that would make sense. Thanks for the information.
