Eastern Railroad Discussion > Chasing W&LE’s “Newest” Locomotive…Date: 05/21/15 06:49 Chasing W&LE’s “Newest” Locomotive… Author: StephenK Hello everyone. After school on Tuesday, I decided to pass by Gambrinus Yard to see what power was there. To my surprise, WE 6349 was there, W&LE’s “newest” locomotive. I was able to get a few pictures, but none without wires due to the location of the locomotive. I decided to head home and listen to the scanner to see when it would depart. After hearing that they were ready to leave the yard, I headed Kemary Ave Bridge with a view over the tracks. After waiting a few minutes, it arrived. Then I continued the chase to Navarre, OH, on Canal Street. Due to a lot of homework, I decided to end the chase there. I hope you enjoy the videos, and thanks for watching!

These two ex-KCS units were not origianlly SD40-2's and were moved to the new 6900 series of the roster that contains several engines that have all been rebuilt from SD40's to SD40-2's. |
