    Just a few of my WW shots. The 120 is a MT4 riding on SW1500 trucks and has a SW1500 cab on it. She is now used on mine runs between Gore, and Winchester.

    The WW has bought the ESHR 8066, and she was sitting at the Shops in Gore, Va when I was there.

    What is an "MT4?" Looks like some sort of slug? Built from an old ALCo?

    Nope. Both slugs came straight from CR.

    the #10 has no trucks and is up on blocks :(

    Hmmm. Now I am getting curious- Anyone know of a web site for this company? Roster? System map? History?

    :D

    NJ? Now that you mention unit- Wasn't that an operation that involved a barge? I have a mental picture of a partly sunken barge with an ALCo on it..... Years ago? Railfan Magazine?

    Jason,
    That's a neat look at the W&W's roster. I was in Gore in July 2003 and the #10 was truckless then too. I didn't see the 120 but wish I had.

    My first encounter with the W&W was in Gore in 1991. They had some neat Alco power sitting around back then.

    Pentrex did a video about the W&W sometime in the mid 90's. It was a very good look at the line.

    That's the one. But looks like I'm thinking of a different company.

    ESHR is Eastern Shore, the 8066 was bought by the WW and they are now using it.

    I loved the Eastern Shore RR. I have photos of some of their equipment that I took in the 90's up at Cape Charles. (Maybe I can dig them up and start a new topic)
