Eastern Railroad Discussion > W&LE on the B&O at Lester Ohio in better daysDate: 05/12/19 06:36 W&LE on the B&O at Lester Ohio in better days Author: WLE2679 Back in 2014, W&LE owed horsepower hours to CSX, with CSX using the power on locals out of Willard. Back when the CL&W sub was used between Seville to Lester, I believe it was D740 that did a Willard to Lester turn. The drop up, pick up and switching took all of 20 mins. These were shot with my backup Panasonic Lumix as I forgot to charge my other camera. Oops.
Shows local arriving, departing and the B&O caboose that used to be used on the local to Lorain.

I have rarely seen images at Lester let alone ones showing the W&LE

Whether there is any agreement is a question. Short line purchase prices are steep at this time, and likely CSX is holding out for good money.
