Some afternoon tunnel motors...on the Wheeling.
Author: Forever-Railfan-45

After doing some yard work this morning with the wife I wasn't planning on going anywhere over hour away so I decided to stay local. Thanks to Poker2662 we decided to go just west of Dalton, Ohio. Poker2662 advised that a W&LE 237 departed Brewster, Ohio at 1542. So we decided to just wait as Matt advised that two of Wheeling's tunnel motors were the sole power. We originally decided to stay put at a new crossing that W&LE MOW had yet to finish but then we noticed a nice field with a view. Asked the homeowner for permission and he said just park your car over behind the barn and enjoy yourself. Pretty nice day even though this was the only train of the day. Thanks Poker2662 for the help. Have a good work week everyone...

Great catch.  Nice to see the tunnel motor model and the Grande units without tunnel grime.
