WE 4003, 7377, and 6314
Title:  WE 4003, 7377, and 6314
Description:  An SD40-3 still bearing the grime of the last winter leads two SD40-2s on an empty hopper train, seen here at the Narrows Hill Road crossing just North of Connellsville, Pa. Spring in 2010 seemed to have taken hold much sooner than Spring 2011. WE 4003 was originally built as Missouri Pacific 703 SD40 in March 1967. (This photo is a re-master of a previous upload)

WE 6314 and 6349
Title:  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.

WE 6314
Title:  WE 6314
Description:  Nothing too special, just a simple roster shot of one of the few remaning engines that W&LE has in this paint. It is stopped at the junction with CSX waiting for several other trains to pass, including the coal train that was off to the left. Built as MILW 30 in July 1973. Later became MILW 6314, SOO 6314, and EMDX 6314. Train number Z564-29.

WE 3049, 6314
Title:  WE 3049, 6314
Description:  Heading west on the scenic Banning Bridge over the Youghiogheny River. The were only 13 cars on the train including a buffer, 4 tank cars, and 8 cement cars. Just enough to frame the whole train on the bridge perfectly. The only way to get to this river-level spot is from the Great Allegheny Passage.
