WE 108 and 109 (1) |
| Description: |
On the left, a former Southern/NS 2708 GP35 built December 1964. Rebuilt at the W&LE Brewster, Ohio shops to a GP35-3. The number 2708 was kept until it got a new paint job in April 2007 which you see here. This engine is named for Robert S. Bixler who was the founding member of The Orrville Railroad Historical Society which preserves the railroad history of Ohio. On the right, a former Southern/NS 2705 GP35 built December 1964. Rebuilt at the W&LE Brewster, Ohio shops to a GP35-3 in 1997. The number 2705 was kept until 2004 when it became #108 which you see here. The engine still retains its old Norfolk Southern black paint. This train was seen at the junction with CSX in Connellsville, Pa., waiting for a signal to proceed to the yard. |

Flanked by former Southern GP35s on each end, a freight local (Connelllsville to Rook) crosses the scenic and historic Banning Bridge (built 1930) over the Youghiogheny River. It took exactly 45 minutes for it to get here from Connellsville. |

| Description: |
The engines are ready to decouple from this tank car, go back through the switch and back down against the train on the SWP interchange. The tank car had to be moved in order to fit two engines on the track. WE 106 would come up with another train, couple to the tank car, and move the train far enough up to clear the switch. It was left overnight. |

| Description: |
Here you can see the tank car has now been moved to the main, allowing room for these two engines to be coupled to the now 26-car train that rests on the SWP interchange track. You can see here how it abruptly goes downhill. A derail switch is at the other end of the train because of the steep grade. |
