WE 305 and 301 (4)
Title:  WE 305 and 301 (4)
Description:  Two matching EMD GP40-3s on an 18 car freight train heading west through Creek Hills/Chaintown Pa. The train was going too fast at this point to follow it any further. With all of the new trackwork they have done, it has really improved train speeds.

WE 300 and 305
Title:  WE 300 and 305
Description:  #300, the oddity of the Wheeling and Lake Eries locomotive roster, is going to be leading on train Z565-06 when a new crew arrives. I hope this dark and stealthy looking thing never gets repainted.
