On a perfect October afternoon, Wheeling & Lake Erie's extra, WE #90, switches onto the Brewster Connection in Bellevue, OH with an originally painted D&RGW EMD SD40T-2, 5431, now Wheeling 5431. Wheeling & Lake Erie has three SD40T-2's and two of them are in D&RGW paint, acquired in 2002.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
