WE 6989, WE 4000, AVR 4002, WE 6354, and WE 6982 |
| Description: |
The train stops momentarily over the RJ Corman to clear up their track warrant and to let the Ohio Central get settled in the yard. Even after all these years that Wheeling has owned these lease units, it is still very possible to see these mix/matched consists. |

WE 4001 |
| Description: |
I knew there was a crew heading out to Navarre to catch a "dead in the water" WE 625 later that morning, and with nothing happening on the west side of the yard, I decided to move into Navarre to see if I could find the train at a different location that I had never shot at before. Navarre hosts a pretty neat S-Curve on the west side of town so thats where I decided to set up shop. It didnt take long for the train to make its appearance. I was hoping the local would be "push-pull", but it was even worse; both on the head end, long hood forward. After starting the day so well, I assumed that everything would go exactly as I had planned the rest of the day. Apparently not. But, its what it is! After this, it was a straight shot down to Dover. |

WE 4003 |
| Description: |
I have had my eyes on documenting rare signals this year, in particular tilt boards. The Ohio Central Railroad still operates a handful of these signals at their intersecting diamonds with other railroads. One of which I stumbled across my last visit to Brewster, OH by accident. Because of that, I decided to make a full trip out of it today to finally get a train actually passing it. The RJ Corman and the Ohio Central operate the tilt board on the south side of Justus, OH and operate almost daily to the massive Wheeling and Lake Erie terminal in Brewster to interchange cars. However, according to the local railfans, it is a pretty rare occurrence to manage to capture all 3 short lines running in the same day. Prior to driving out, I was told that RJ Corman had cars to interchange with the Wheeling today and would go OD at 0700 out of New Philadelphia. Unfortunately for me, Brewster is a near 3 and a half hour drive from my house, so I had to leave my house no later than 0330. It was a very tiring drive, but I hoped it would be fulfilling. While the Corman and the OHCR only run one train most days, the Wheeling has several ops that run in and out of the Brewster Terminal in both directions, which would help fill the gap between arriving and seeing the train by the tilt board. It was a foggy morning, and being able to see the railroad tracks and even the road was a struggle, but I managed to arrive in to Brewster around 0700. I had not heard anything from the Corman over the radio, so I decided to sit along the Wheeling to see if I could get some quick morning Wheeling action. Not too long after my arrival, I heard a train preparing to clear a warrant from the east side of the yard. I rushed over there and saw the headlight from WE 625, the night job from Navarre to Brewster, preparing to come back into the yard with a single hopper. WE 4003 was the sole power for todays train. I was quite pleased to see that it was one of the SD40-2s that had the completely black frame. Not a lot of Wheeling SD40-2s have this scheme. |

A closer shot of WE 4003. I had hoped to get a very foggy morning shot, but the rising sun was quickly burning away the remaining fog that was left. There was some left, however. An automatic switch is thrown and the train continues into the yard. It appears that the stripes on the front have a slightly darker color of orange as well. |

WE 4018 |
| Description: |
I decided to move back into town and see if I could find a RC Job kicking some cars around. The RC stopped working on the Wheeling 4018, so they pulled this unit down to the other end of the yard to replace it with the Wheeling 4003. |

WE 4025 |
| Description: |
Back at Brewster, WE 501 works the Brewster Terminal with a remote controlled SD40-2 with the small logo print on the side. After this I decided to call it a day in Brewster. I had gotten my tilt board as I wanted, so I wanted to see if I could get some more rare signals, specifically on the NS Fort Wayne Line and the CSX Greenwich Sub. |
