Unique lashup on the Wheeling yesterday
Author: was4097

As I was on my way home yesterday I seen the W&LE crossing Warner Rd in Canton. Since it was only 5 engines, I decided to get a shot of them. This video is taken at 11th St SE Canton, Oh.

Very cool.

I need to get up there some day before the Grande units are retired.

I'm still surprised the Grande Units are still in their original paint scheme!

Wheeling has a former Rio Grande VP running the operation as well as some former DRGW personnel. Until they leave you won't see the Rio Grande units being repainted :)

Larry Parsons influence can certainly be seen on the W&LE. Here is a nice synopsis:
