Some pics of a W&LE loco facilty we stumbled across back in September 2000, it's somewhere near Akron OH, and is virtually next to an interstate, but other than that I can't tell you where it is!!! (If anyone knows, i'd be interested to hear!) MRL 254 was an interesting visitor (this was what made us pull off the freeway!!!) At the other end was W&LE 3102, looking like an ex Mopac machine, I've put a post in the Mopac forum asking about this one... In between were a pair of ex NS (both ex-Southern?) GP35's, gotta dig the Alco trucks on W&LE 2653... W&LE 2703's heritage is pretty easy to spot, both the NS and Southern markings are showing through the current paint!
Thanks for the great shots Martyn. They sure look a bit different than the new livery! I think the facility you are speaking of is at Brittain, a suburb just outside of Akron on the former AC&Y. Easy access and always interesting stuff there. Bill Brittain, Ohio yards & loco facilities
That looks like the place! Typical, I travel a couple of thousand miles and still end up in Brittain.... (sorry) Anyhow, it'll let me caption these pics better, thanks!
