Eastern Railroad Discussion > Stop & Fill Up at Keyser, WV - 09 July 2019Date: 07/14/19 11:33 Stop & Fill Up at Keyser, WV - 09 July 2019 Author: DTWilson Most of the Morning we kept hearing the BF dispatching talking about having an eastbound work train coming from Grafton having to stop at Keyser, WV for fuel. 20 miles out of Cumberland and the are stopping for fuel in Keyser.??? Unusual...
While in Westernport picking up the 7 year old, we hear W057-09 call the signal at the Beryl, WV woodyard with "Locomotive" LMIX518.... what the heck is it..... so we head to Keymont, WV to set up a shot. 1) The answer to our questions... it's a Loram "RailVac"...... W057-09 eastbound at Keymont, WV. 2) and 3) W057-09 taking on fuel from the MofW Department's diesel tank in the East Yard at Keyser, WV. Tim W. Edited 3 time(s).
