WE 3068, 7377, 6347 |
| Description: |
The Connellsville CSX yard is looking more like the W&LE Rook Yard, with the full ore train K110&27 passing the empty ore train K110-26. The empty has come back from Sparrows Point, Md, and the full one is headed there, eventually. Note that there is a crew in the second engine as well as the first one. I thought that was rather odd. |

WE 3068 at night |
| Description: |
In a color scheme very fitting for October, the month of Halloween, the orange and black SD40-3 on coke train K302-03 idles through the night, number boards lit up like a jack-o-lantern. Built in November 1966 as UP 3068. Later it became WC/Oxford 3068. Acquired by WE in 1992 and rebuilt in September 1999 from SD40 to SD40-3. |

Z564-01 coming into the Connellsville CSX Yard with 30 tanker cars on a warm beautiful July evening. These two locomotives will go West tomorrow with empties. Apparently will have to run long hood forward since they are both facing East. |
