Could this mean "some" new business for the W&LE. Maybe both inbound and outbound? AVR/SWP/WE? Follow the link.

Back in the 80's the N & W used to run up to the VW plant to pick up cars. .Does the Wheeling now have trackage rights up to Sony?

Boy that brings back memories...N&W hauling cars out of the old VW plant. I remember back in the late 80s when I was a kid hanging around at the Monessen JCT & some of the track crew used to still be working out of there & would tell us to be careful...There's a train coming this way moving fast...about 50 MPH...Then within a few minutes a train pulling about 50+ cars--the majority of them being the old-fashinond open-sided auto racks-- came blasting through towards Pittsburgh...
