Pre-ordered in December 2024
These 3-bay open coal hoppers with Barber Roller Bearing trucks were originally owned by CSX® and were later purchased and patched out by Wheeling & Lake Erie. Wheeling & Lake Erie was founded in 1990, and uses the name of the former W&LE that operated from 1880 until 1949. Most of the locomotives and rolling stock use stylized speed lettering and the color scheme of the D&RGW. It is headquartered in Brewster, Ohio, operating as a Class II regional railroad, interchanging with CSX and NS in the Northern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania region.
