Wheeling and Lake Erie RR part 1


Title:
Wheeling and Lake Erie RR part 1

Description:
W&LE 107 and 302 pull a small mixed load though Bridgeville, PA. #107 is a former SOU/NS GP35-3 high-hood and wears a commemorative Akron, Canton, and Youngstown paint scheme. #302 is a former Denver and Rio Grande GP40-3. Both have been rebuilt and repainted by W&LE. My awesome wife was kind enough to take this video for me on her way home from work. :)

Wheeling and Lake Erie RR part 2
W&LE 107 and 302 howl across a narrow overpass near Route 50 in the appropriately named Bridgeville, PA. I'm not sure about the location, but I think it's headed north towards Rook yard in Greentree. My dear wife actually chased this train for a few miles in order to get me this second (and much better) video. We should all be so lucky. ;)

Wheeling and Lake Erie at Rook Yard
After patiently waiting 45 minutes for the re-crew I found myself in the perfect spot to see some car shifting at Rook. (Sorry for the shaky video in the first clip; every time I went to move the camera the tripod would shift in the gravel). They backed onto the siding to release and park the tankers, and switch WE107 from the head to the tail. Thankfully they did all this before the daylight left me. I didn't want to bother them while they were working, but they were nice enough to smile ...

Allegheny Valley Railroad along Streets Run
AVR 2007 (GP-11) shuttles a lonely covered hopper upgrade along Streets Run Rd. in Baldwin, PA. This is the mid-day run (AVR-3) southbound from avr's Glenwood yard on the Monongahela River towards the Bruceton interchange with the Wheeling and Lake Erie. I hear him blowing down the four crossings every day while I'm at work, and I couldn't stand it any longer. I HAD to skip out for a while and catch him on video. Fortunately, the AVR is typically friendly to (and tolerant of) compulsive ...
W&LE Train Chase Part 1[5/30/08]
P&WV #101 came down the tracks from the Wheel Pitt mill seen in the background then coupled on to Rio Grande #303 which brought coil cars from Mingo Jct. She then goes up the tracks. Also notice the awesome K5LA horn on the WE 101 unit. After the first crossing seen in the video the crew climbs out of the Pittsburgh and West Virginia loco 101 then uncouples from the Rio Grande 303. The RG remains the same speed while the WE 101 races up to the mill. At the next crossing there begins a duo ...
