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.

WE 3102 (2)
Title:  WE 3102 (2)
Description:  The conductor on the K111-19 ore train hams it up for the camera a bit. Here the train is making a slow approach around the bend after crossing the Narrows Road Bridge in Connellsville. It would come to a stop just a bit further up the tracks at milepost one where the train has been shut off and tied down for the night. This is one of the SD40-3 Brewster Shop rebuilds and is a former UP 3102 SD40 built in 1971.
