Eastern Railroad Discussion > Above The Wheeling At BrewsterDate: 06/27/16 08:08 Above The Wheeling At Brewster Author: Ohiorailfan After Lordstown on Saturday I headed to Brewster for some WLE action. Only saw 3 trains in 6 hours, but it's the Wheeling. I managed to get a few drone shots of the yard and one at Kidron Station. Enjoy!!
Various SD40-2's and GP35's    Date: 06/27/16 08:10 Re: Above The Wheeling At Brewster Author: Ohiorailfan 2 more drone shots. Then the WLE Pasenger car makes an appearance behind an SD40-2

  Date: 06/27/16 09:10 Re: Above The Wheeling At Brewster Author: refarkas Great shots. As the N&W was very friendly, from the late 1960's through the 1970's, I went to the Brewster shop area and locomotive facility to photograph locomotives. It is hard to believe so much from those times has been removed. This helps me comprehend what is now gone.

~DWF Date: 06/27/16 19:23 Re: Above The Wheeling At Brewster Author: NSDash9 When the W&LE first began its operations in 1990, the Brewster Locomotive Shop building was not heated to save money, but after some costly repairs due to locomotive freeze damage, the heat was turned on. Fuel oil furnaces were used for heat. In the late 90's, the furnaces were converted to natural gas, as there was a producing gas well on the W&LE property.
