WE 6353 |
| Description: |
This engine is an SD40-2 former Kansas City Southern that has received a new blue and yellow paint job for the movie "Unstoppable" starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. Earlier last year it had the KCS gray color. The blue and yellow color scheme was used for the fictional "Allegheny and West Virginia Railroad" in the movie. Seen in the CSX Connellsville Railyard. This was one of three W&LE engines on layover in the yard after bringing in a coal train. They were waiting for a train of empties to be assembled to take back to their home yard in Green Tree. Note that this still retains the 1206 numberboards from the movie. This is the one that engineer "Frank Barnes" used to couple up from behind on the runaway train to try and bring it to a stop. |

WE 6349 in Creek Hills |
| Description: |
W&LE 6349 is an SD40-2 formerly owned by the Kansas City Southern. This bridge was opened to rail traffic in 1933 for the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway, In 1964 the line was leased to the Norfolk and Western. Then in 1990 it got leased to the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway, which is the train you see here. After crossing this bridge the train enters the rugged Creek Hills area and crosses several more bridges before going over the much higher Banning Bridge over the Yough River. For anyone interested in railfanning this bridge, it takes approx. 30-40 minutes for a train to reach Chaintown after leaving Connellsville. |

An SD40-3 still bearing the grime of the last winter leads two SD40-2s on an empty hopper train, seen here at the Narrows Hill Road crossing just North of Connellsville, Pa.

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. |

The dynamic trio still sits in the Connellsville CSX yard, not running. The Wheeling and Lake Erie must not miss them very much. |

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. |
