WE 6354 (8) |
| Description: |
An SD40-2 stopped at the west end of the Connellsville CSX Yard with 16 tank cars plus buffer cars. The crew had to stop here because they did not know the switches to throw to get to 29 Track and a CSX employee had to show them. WE 6354 was one of two locomotives to play AWVR 1206 in the "Unstoppable" movie. Note that the Youghiogheny River is so muddy it almost looks like chocolate from all the recent heavy storms. |
