WE 7377 detail shot (2)         
One of the Wheeling and Lake Eries "Blues Brothers", on loaded coke train K302-17. Built as MP 3198 in March 1975. Also former GATX 7377 and GSCX 7377. The dark blue patch on the nose is from when it had GATX on the front. The steel mill that these coke trains were being sent to was owned by RG Steel and the company has filed for bankruptcy in 2012, so the coke and ore trains are now a thing of the past.
