WE 6349 in Creek Hills |
| Description: |
W&LE 6349 is an SD40-2 formerly owned by the Kansas City Southern. This bridge was opened to rail traffic in 1933 for the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway, In 1964 the line was leased to the Norfolk and Western. Then in 1990 it got leased to the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway, which is the train you see here. After crossing this bridge the train enters the rugged Creek Hills area and crosses several more bridges before going over the much higher Banning Bridge over the Yough River. For anyone interested in railfanning this bridge, it takes approx. 30-40 minutes for a train to reach Chaintown after leaving Connellsville. |

WE 6349 and 7375 in a snowstorm |
| Description: |
Another snowstorm has arrived, this time the forecast is 8 to 10 inches. This train was one of the first to leave the CSX yard in 4 days. The gray engine is an ex-Kansas City Southern. Both engines are SD40-2s. Seen in Owensdale, Pa, above the SWP shortline. |

CSX 54 and WLE 6349 |
| Description: |
Two trains both idling, at the junction of CSX and W&LE. The trains are behaving oddly again in Connellsville today, after we received an additional foot of snow on top of what we had. The Wheeling and Lake Erie train has been sitting here since about 11 PM last night. I am thinking that maybe the switches in the Connellsville Yard are snowed in and not working again, so these trains have no where to go. 6349 is a former Kansas City Southern that has never been painted by Wheeling and Lake Erie yet. It makes an appearance in Connellsville quite often. |

| Description: |
A train that was sitting here all night, at the junction of CSX and W&LE in Connellsvile, during a storm that dumped a foot of additional snow on the area. I later found out that the CSX yard in Connellsville where this would have been going, had their switches frozen shut. |

WE 6314 and 6349 |
| Description: |
A small gondola train leaving the Connellsville CSX yard for Pittsburgh. It is a little bit strange that both engines are facing cab-backwards. Not a fun trip for the engineer. |

| Description: |
A loaded ore train bakes in 90 degree heat on track 43 in the CSX yard in South Connellsville. It was awaiting a new crew and still left running, surprisingly. The train has been given a new code number: Z564-12. Previously they were in the K100 series. |
