Orrville, Ohio
Exactly one year ago today, local Wheeling fans were treated to both Denver & Rio Grande Western Tunnel Motors leading Brewster-Willard train 237 west on the Brewster Sub in perfect evening sun. Both units had been assigned to the train amidst unsatisfactory weather all week, but Mother Nature finally graced Northern Ohio with abundant sunshine that Saturday. Great company, an enthusiastic crew, and plenty of slow orders to make chasing a breeze resulted in one of the best days I've ever had on the Wheeling. The train is seen here working westbound approaching Orrville, Ohio, passing part of the mostly removed telegraph line. Only a few days later, the pair was split apart and both units haven't been together since. With the 5413's prime mover scheduled to be replaced, hopefully we'll see something like this again soon.
