[PRR-talk] Bellevue, Ohio

Bill,

Thank you for the update.  BTW, there were 2 segments showing PRR J1's on
coal trains destined to Sandusky.  Another thing that struck me from the
video is all those freight cars from those railroads that were part of our
youth in the 50's.

Wheeling tower is still standing. The W&LE tracks are long gone. They did a
lot of re-alighning up there. Tower is now used as a NS signal maintainers
storage place. Here is a photo of the tower, well part of it. I know I had
complete detailed photos, but all my photos were destroyed in the Floods
that hit Ohio in August.

Readers,

I recently purchased a CD which highlights steam power videos on the former
W&LE portion of the NKP.  A lot of the action takes place at the tower that
protects the rigid crossings of not only the NKP and W&LE but also the PRR
Sandusky Branch and the NYC at Bellevue.  It turns out that Bellevue was a
PRR tower http://broadway.pennsyrr.com/Rail/Prr/Maps/Itlk/bellevue.gif with
the PRR providing all the maintenance but only the 2nd trick operator; the
W&LE furnished operators on 1st and 3rd trick.

Would someone with more knowledge than I care to illuminate the rest of us
on how this came to pass?  What is the situation today?

Sid Johnson
