WE 302 (6)
Title:  WE 302 (6)
Description:  After hand-throwing a switch in the Connellsville CSX yard, the train is now ready to proceed east into the yard. The paint on this one is starting to not look so good and I wonder how much longer before it gets the dreaded repainting. This was built in August 1968 as Penn Central 3113 GP40. Later became Conrail 3113, DRGW 3173, DRGW 3131, and WE 3131. Rebuilt into a GP40-3 in December 2004.

WE 302 (7)
Title:  WE 302 (7)
Description:  A GP40-3 soaks up some unseasonably warm December sunshine on train Z564-01. I did not have any sunny closeup shots of this one yet so it was time to do something about that. Number 303 is the one I've covered more. This one has had the paint touched up on the conductors door in 2012, and it looks much better now. The Wheeling and Lake Erie takes great pride in their engines. WE 302 was built in August 1968 as Penn Central 3113 GP40. Later became Conrail 3113, DRGW 3173, DRGW 3131, and WE 3131.
