WE 6381
Title:  WE 6381
Description:  One of three engines on layover from the previous night's Q249 autorack train in Connellsville. It originally had gone to Balitmore, Maryland on an iron ore train. This SD40-2 still wears the paint of the previous owner, EMDX, and was built in 1973 as Milwaukee Road 171.

WE 6350 (2)
Title:  WE 6350 (2)
Description:  The power from Wheeling and Lake Erie working another autorack train in Connellsville, under some very moody skies just before dark. The engines here are being used for yard switching. The autoracks are for train Q253 to Ohio, and the power did not go with it. At one time this was indeed an SD45, as seen by the body style but is now an SD40-2. It was formerly KCS 631 and CNW 955.

Title:  WE 6350, 6381, and 3048
Description:  The dynamic trio still sits in the Connellsville CSX yard, not running. The Wheeling and Lake Erie must not miss them very much.

WE 3102
Title:  WE 3102
Description:  Empty ore train K111-06 going west on Track 43 through the CSX yard in Connellsville. I did not expect it to be sent in on this track and it caught me off guard. It would have been shadowed on the other side of the autroracks so its probably for the best. This is one of the SD40-3 Brewster Shop rebuilds and is a former UP 3102 SD40 built in 1971. The train stopped down at the west end of the yard and the crew left.

WE 3102, 6311, and 6381
Title:  WE 3102, 6311, and 6381
Description:  Another ore train heads east on CSX trackage along Water Street in Connellsville. I wanted an angle more to the left on the river side but an autorack train fouled me yet again. This was taken from the Crawford Avenue Bridge. After going under the bridge, the train stopped briefly to throw the switch to 43 Track. Then it went through the yard and got held at Greene Junction in South Connellsville. Looks like all the railfans in Maryland will have another W&LE treat sent their way.
