NORFOLK & WESTERN GREEN WEANIES LEAD A HOPPER TRAIN OUT OF THE TUNNEL - NORTH OF ADENA, OHIO - MARCH 14, 1982

Nicknamed "Green Weanies" by local fans, half of the original Illinois Terminal SD-39 fleet pops out of the tunnel for a "Weanie Wednesday" appearance, hauling a hopper train in southeastern Ohio. Which is the part of Ohio that would likely be more at home if it were actually part of West Virginia. The N&W picked up the entire 6 unit SD-39 fleet from the ITC when they took that over, and with them assigned to Brewster, they put a nice splash of color into Ohio coal country for a while.
