The thrid slab train has a little more power than the first two; a UP AC44W, SD9043MAC and a WE SD40-3 up front and two Geeps on the back.
7355 leads his train of slabs into Rook where he'll wait for an empty coke train to arrive before continuing west on the old P&WV.

A very light frosting of snow dusts two W&LE units at the railroad's Rook Yard in suburban Pittsburgh.
392's power idles outside the Rook yard office.
Finding two engines in Rio Grande paint is becoming rare, but who would think that they'd be sitting side-by-side in Western Pennsylvania! Two ex-D&RGW units sit in the W&LE's Rook Yard.
