WE 3046 (2)  Contributor's Pick!       
The ore trains are back running again. This 83 car train has just come off the interchange with CSX and is passing east underneath the Memorial Bridge in Connellsville. The train has been given a new code number: Z564-12. Previously they were in the K100 series. Note the ditch light on the right side is burnt out. The yardmaster was notified of that equipment defect over the radio. This EMD SD40-3 was built in April 1965 as EMDX 430G. Later became UP 3046. Rebuilt at the W&LE Brewster Shops in July 1998.
