why wouldn't the turd 4 axle be in the lead, those things are such pieces of trash

[train732]

where was this taken?

[ssteff13]

Rt 51 south out of Pittsburgh, near the intersection of Rt 88 and 51, on the hill above the trolley line.

Very nice vid again. Love to see the fallen flags, good job!

Thanks Ken. WLE has some neat old junk. : )

Nice catch once again ! I'm wondering when the W&LE will finally sink some of the $Millions$ of dollars they have received from the State of Pa into the Rail and Roadbed, for which the state gave them the money for in the 1st place. Years ago, that stretch of track used to be 30-40mph now its down to 20-25mph in most places and plenty of 10mph restrictions. All because of neglect ! The State should demand their money back lol

It didn't show very well in this video, but I could see the rails sinking/bending in one spot every time a car went over it. I have seen them doing track work on the West Mifflin Branch lately though.

That is one of their branches, but it's just an interchange with Union RR. This line crosses Lebanon Church Rd at the other end, towards Bethel Park.

Do you know where Duke's Station is on Baptist Rd (in Bethel Park?) Sit in the back of their parking lot between 5-6pm and with a little luck you'll see one of these trains.

Where does the union do interchange with W&LE? That'd be for sure something neat for sure to see

Seems that the Wheeling & Lake Erie is taking a liking to you. interesting power for today's train. Does this line happen to pass over Rte 51 on an Ex: N&W bridge near the Walgreen's on Lebanon Chrch rd?
