WE 6350
Title:  WE 6350
Description:  One of three engines on layover from the previous night's Q249 autorack train in Connellsville. It originally had gone to Balitmore, Maryland on an iron ore train. At one time this was indeed an SD45, as seen by the body style but is now an SD40-2. It was formerly KCS 631 and CNW 955.

WE 6350 (2)
Title:  WE 6350 (2)
Description:  The power from Wheeling and Lake Erie working another autorack train in Connellsville, under some very moody skies just before dark. The engines here are being used for yard switching. The autoracks are for train Q253 to Ohio, and the power did not go with it. At one time this was indeed an SD45, as seen by the body style but is now an SD40-2. It was formerly KCS 631 and CNW 955.

WE 6350 (3)
Title:  WE 6350 (3)
Description:  A CSX crew "borrowing" this SD40-3 of the Wheeling and Lake Erie, using it for the Y101 yard job. Upon hearing that a W&LE ore train had arrived into town from Rook, the conductor or engineer was heard saying on the scanner: "Uh oh, now we're in trouble. Here comes the Wheeling guys. The W&LE is going to catch us and fine or something for using their engine." There was a good laugh on the scanner, after that one. This engine has the body of an SD45 because at one time it was one. Formerly KCSX 631 and CNW 955.

WE 6350 (5)
Title:  WE 6350 (5)
Description:  Running long-hood forward over Narrows road on the Connellsville City and Connellsville Township border, not far from MPC 1 on the Wheeling and Lake Erie line. This engine was acquired in January 2015 and replaced the previous 6350 which was grey. Built in April 1973 as CP 5659. Later became GCFX 3055 and CITX 3055. Though it has been owned by W&LE almost a year now, I am calling it new to differentiate between the previous 6350 engine.
