Gentlemen,
Some pics from the excursion on 10/20. WE 103 pulled from Rook to the Mon River bridge then pushed back to Rook.
Between the AVR interchange at Bruceton and the Clairton branch 103 wasn't working too hard going downgrade.
Railings on the Mingo Creek bridge are showing their age.
Mon-Fayette Expressway and autumn foliage from Mingo Creek bridge.
Entering the Temple Tunnel.

Pushing back towards Longview. 103 was working hard going uphill.

| Was this open to the public? If it was, I'm sorry I missed it |

It wasn't open to the public, it was for WE customers. It would be great if they could do public excursions and make money doing it.
I have more pictures to post. |
