W&LE 102 Rocket Bolivar OH 214 3/23/18

            A few years back, the Wheeling still required four-axle locomotives on the Matt Branch in PA, so it was common to see trios of geeps on the 214 out of Brewster for forwarding to the east end. On the evening of March 23, 2018, I caught two GP35-3's and a GP40-3 leading the 214 east into Bolivar at the Rocket defect detector with tanks for Hanna. They would then grab eastbound loaded tanks from Hanna and head for Rook, where another crew would take the geeps down the Matt Branch the next day when grabbing coke loads from Monessen. The restriction on the branch has since been lifted, and four axles are no longer necessary east of Mingo Junction.
