A three car train flanked by a former Rio Grande on each end is interchanging onto CSX in Connellsville to pick up a train of tank cars. The sun broke through the clouds just enough for me in this shot. WE 302 was built in August 1968 as Penn Central 3113 GP40. Later became Conrail 3113, DRGW 3173, DRGW 3131, and WE 3131. Rebuilt into a GP40-3 in December 2004. |

| Description: |
After hand-throwing a switch in the Connellsville CSX yard, the train is now ready to proceed east into the yard. The paint on this one is starting to not look so good and I wonder how much longer before it gets the dreaded repainting. This was built in August 1968 as Penn Central 3113 GP40. Later became Conrail 3113, DRGW 3173, DRGW 3131, and WE 3131. Rebuilt into a GP40-3 in December 2004. |

Number 303 is the one I've covered more. This one has had the paint touched up on the conductors door in 2012, and it looks much better now. The Wheeling and Lake Erie takes great pride in their engines. WE 302 was built in August 1968 as Penn Central 3113 GP40. Later became Conrail 3113, DRGW 3173, DRGW 3131, and WE 3131. Rebuilt into a GP40-3 in December 2004. |
