WE 6349, 3034, and 6347
Title:  WE 6349, 3034, and 6347
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 3068, 7377, 6347
Title:  WE 3068, 7377, 6347
Description:  The Connellsville CSX yard is looking more like the W&LE Rook Yard, with the full ore train K110-27 passing the empty ore train K110-26. The empty has come back from Sparrows Point, Md, and the full one is headed there, eventually. Note that there is a crew in the second engine as well as the first one. I thought that was rather odd.
