WE 5391 (3) |
| Description: |
This time a former Rio Grande gets to be on the front of the coke train. Built in August 1978 as DRGW 5391. EMD SD40T-2. The train is running here but not moving, as it was still needing a CSX crew to take it onto their line. With so many darn trees on each side, all I could do was a front shot. |

| Description: |
One of the Wheeling and Lake Eries "Blues Brothers", on loaded coke train K302-17. Built as MP 3198 in March 1975. Also former GATX 7377 and GSCX 7377. The dark blue patch on the nose is from when it had GATX on the front. The steel mill that these coke trains were being sent to was owned by RG Steel and the company has filed for bankruptcy in 2012, so the coke and ore trains are now a thing of the past. |

A look at some of the matching empty ore/coke hoppers going west over the old landmark bridge of the former N&W and P&WV railroads. Completed in 1933. Behind me where I was standing is the beginning of the remote Creek Hills area. That road might look decent here but gets much worse after that. |

WE 301 (8) |
| Description: |
On a short three car freight train at milepost one in Connellsville. This was the trailing engine. The train was waiting for a crew to head back to Rook Yard. This EMD GP40-3 was built as PC 3153 GP40 in September 1968. Later became Conrail 3153, DRGW 3153, and DRGW 3142. The weather was indeed as nice as it looks. 62 degrees in the middle of winter. |

| Description: |
Two matching EMD GP40-3s on an 18 car freight train heading west through Creek Hills/Chaintown Pa. The train was going too fast at this point to follow it any further. With all of the new trackwork they have done, it has really improved train speeds. |

WE 301 (9) |
| Description: |
This great looking GP40-3 is part of a lineup of five locomotives waiting for a coal/freight train to be added on in Everson. 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. |
