WE 6989 (3) |
| Description: |
A train that arrived early in the morning in Connellsville to pick up cars from CSX. The crew was told it would be a few hour wait so they left the train sit here at the interchange. It had four engines and two boxcars, supposedly to use as buffers for tank cars. This engine is former MJRX 6989, BNSF 6989, BNSF 7329, and built as CN 5041 SD40 in April 1968. |

WE 6989, 3067 |
| Description: |
Heading west off CSX in Connellsville with an approximately 100 car train. It was too much to make the hill out of town, and the train stalled on the hill. Half the train had to be cut away to be retrieved later in the day. The waving hand belongs to new conductor Cooper, who is also a well known railfan around here. |
