| Description: |
Still looking shiny yet. This was in Rio Grande paint until spring 2011 when it was in an accident and the damage was deemed bad enough to warrant a full repaint. This engine was built as PC 3153 GP40 in September 1968. Later became Conrail 3153, DRGW 3153, and DRGW 3142. Seen here at the interchange with CSX in Connellsville, awaiting a new crew and not running. |

WE 302 (4) |
| Description: |
A three car train flanked by a former Rio Grande on each end is interchanging onto CSX in Connellsville to pick up a train of tank cars. The sun broke through the clouds just enough for me in this shot. WE 302 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 (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) |
| 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.

The conductor sweeps 4 inches of new snow from the walkway on #302, the leader on train Z565-25. Yes that says CSX on his vest. The three man crew was all CSX. |
