Eastern Railroad Discussion > Wheeling and Lake Erie only has one left and the Dave plan...Date: 08/28/15 18:05 Wheeling and Lake Erie only has one left and the Dave plan... Author: Forever-Railfan-45 Dave,my good friend who works for NS on a MOW gang, suggested we go to Bellevue, Ohio today as well as Attica Junction, Ohio. Great weather, trains were abundant and good time with a great friend. First three pictures are from Attica, Ohio where we observed CSX Q008 then we caught unknown CSX train with BNSF power hauling empty gons; Dave thought it may have been a "dirty dirt" train...

Must have seen a dozen train today utilize the Sandusky District today...

Author: Forever-Railfan-45 Number ten is at Norwalk, Ohio again and number eleven is of the Wheeling train at Clarksfield. This particular locomotive is a former Wisconsin Central locomotive. The only one that the Wheeling has left in her original paint. The only thing missing is the WC herald on the nose; Wheeling did put their speed lettering on the long hood side. The other former WC, 6315 has been repainted into Wheeling and Lake Erie black and orange...Number twelve is of the NS 29G...

Per Chris Toth's W&LE roster website, WE 6316 began life as Algoma Central 185, then became WC 6003 after the WC's takeover of ACR. The six ACR units were WC's only SD40-2s.

John Date: 08/29/15 07:05 Re: Wheeling and Lake Erie only has one left and the Dave plan... Author: toledopatch It's a shame they repainted one of the ex-WC units when there's so much worse-looking stuff on their roster.

I was told 6315 had some sort of major failure and the Brewster shop had just finished rebuilding another locomotive when the 6315's issues occurred, so they took it right into the shop after that for its rebuild. The 6316 also had a few issues in June after hitting a tree and damaging the nose and handrails (notice the dents on the nose and the new black front handrails in the above pictures). Currently they're going though rebuilding all five ex-GATX engines on the roster (one at a time, 7360 already rebuilt and renumebred to 6389, 7374 being rebuilt now).
