Chasing the W&LE (Bonus Night Time NS Action)!

In this video, we will chase a Wheeling & Lake Erie local from Kent to Glenwillow, then move to the Bedford, OH "Tot Lot" for a round of night time railfanning on the NS Cleveland Line. This W&LE train originated at Brittain Yard in Akron, and will terminate at Falls Jct Yard in Glenwillow, where the majority of the cars will be handed off to the Cleveland Commercial Railroad, to head for further destinations. Enjoy!

Awesome video! That shortline looks cool and the night shots were sweet!

Thanks! The Wheeling is a nice railroad. It's a regional that was formed on May 17, 1990. The President used to be a "big head" on the DRGW, hence the DRGW-inspired paint scheme.

where are those helpers stationed

[CSXno601]

Either at Motor Yard, or all the way from Conway.

WE 100 is a former NS, ex Southern Raiway EMD GP35. It was rebuilt into a GP35-3 by the Wheeling several years ago.
