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. |

| 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. |

A trio of SD40-2s bringing the empty coke train K301-02 west to the Wheeling and Lake Eries interchange. You can see it switching over right here. WE 6354 SD40-2 was acquired by the Wheeling and Lake Erie in 2008 and was one of two locomotives to be painted as AWVR 1206 for the now-famous Unstoppable movie. Built as KCS 665 in January 1974. The loads of steel coil were added onto the train in Connellsville. Autorack train Q277-04 is on the right on Track 4. Photographed from public property on Memorial Bridge. |

Spring in 2010 seemed to have taken hold much sooner than Spring 2011. WE 4003 was originally built as Missouri Pacific 703 SD40 in March 1967. (This photo is a re-master of a previous upload) |

Nothing too special, just a simple roster shot of one of the few remaning engines that W&LE has in this paint. It is stopped at the junction with CSX waiting for several other trains to pass, including the coal train that was off to the left. Built as MILW 30 in July 1973. Later became MILW 6314, SOO 6314, and EMDX 6314. Train number Z564-29. |

Just enough to frame the whole train on the bridge perfectly. The only way to get to this river-level spot is from the Great Allegheny Passage. |

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 6349 in Creek Hills |
| Description: |
W&LE 6349 is an SD40-2 formerly owned by the Kansas City Southern. This bridge was opened to rail traffic in 1933 for the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway, In 1964 the line was leased to the Norfolk and Western. Then in 1990 it got leased to the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway, which is the train you see here. After crossing this bridge the train enters the rugged Creek Hills area and crosses several more bridges before going over the much higher Banning Bridge over the Yough River. For anyone interested in railfanning this bridge, it takes approx. 30-40 minutes for a train to reach Chaintown after leaving Connellsville. |
