    The horn sounds like a sick goose mating call.

    The Wheeling & Lake Erie will always get a thumbs up from me, both for adopting the Rio Grande livery and going all-in on the SD40-2 locomotives. Keep the vids coming. Love em.

    Great section of track between those homes with the sad Duckhorn squeaking out the partial grade crossing warnings. Watching all those Alco.trucks bobbing along reminded me of all the Wisconsin Central GP30s that rode on them. That Freight even held a WE boxcar and where those old Eco Well Cars came from well talk about ancient. Great yardview with the Drone and just can't beat that lashup of GP35s esp in 2023

      Don’t see these type of trucks much anywhere other than the wheeling anymore.

    so the two former ns were sold off this line or to this line?

    • @ScottTaipaleRail
      @ScottTaipaleRail  Рік тому

      They had 4 but all were sold to a railroad out west

    • @beeble2003
      @beeble2003 Рік тому

      They went to the Nebraska Central.
      Note that RR Picture Archives shows WE 251 as now being HRSX 3007 (Harbor Rail Services, leased to a cement plant in California. However, this seems to be incorrect. The W&LE high-nose GP38-2s were painted in plain black (as you can see on WE 253 in this video) but HRSX 3007 is in Norfolk Southern paint, except that the horses have been painted over. If they were the same locomotive, that would mean that its new owners had put the white stripes of the NS livery back on the locomotive, which doesn't make sense. (Also, HRSX 3007 has the low nose, but lease companies often chop the high noses down, so that's not conclusive.)

    Wonder how long before we see DPU's on W&LE? I assume their SD-40-2's have the latest control electronics/software to support it.

    • @ScottTaipaleRail
      @ScottTaipaleRail  Рік тому

      I don’t think they do but I’m no expert

    • @beeble2003
      @beeble2003 Рік тому

      I doubt it. DP requires radio receiver/transmitters and additional control hardware. Class Is don't tend to fit that to anything older than an SD70 or Dash-9, and short lines generally just can't afford it.
