WE 6314 @ Avella, PA
A re-edited shot from the summer of 2020.
After working Mingo Junction, WV all morning, a classic pair of EMDX painted SD40-2s (WE 6314/6312) lead train 218 (Brewster, OH - Pittsburgh, PA) as they wake up the small town of Avella, PA, screaming over the North Fork Cross Creek bridge in notch 8 along the WLE Rook Sub. Both units are formally Milwaukee Road. Taken: 7-19-20
This was one of my favorite chases, as getting one GM leading on the Wheeling is hard enough as it is, but getting a pair was the icing on the cake. This is one spot I wish I had the video camera going, the word “screaming” is not enough to describe the sound of these units cutting through the Valley.
