Unfortunately, the track in this scene is now choked with weeds, brush and tree saplings.  The ore contract ended around 2012, the ore docks closed and the Wheeling gave up their trackage rights to Huron in 2019.

Great scene.

Nice catch! FWIW, the 9138 was rebuilt in 12/20 into the 4307.

I was going to ask how long ago this shot was taken because I sure as heck knew it wasn't recent.

The ore dock area isn't even recognizable any more. The waterfront has been redeveloped. I don't believe NS uses this branch beyond the Glad plant any more, assuming they still serve that customer.
