"Batman returned" in 1990, after 41 years of hibernation. This time his wings were spread to encompass the former Akron Canton & Youngstown and Pittsburgh & West Virginia. Our program begins with a retrospective section on all three components of the modern W&LE.

Next we view typical action in the early years with a colorful mix of handme-down EMDs: Five units on a heavy coal drag out of Pittsburgh's Rook Yard, the 2662 screaming up the 5% grade at Mogadore as the engine dies while passing the camera, a cab ride through the P&WV tunnel district, some yard action, a few wrecks, and some stunning winter scenes. Go aboard "Operation Lifesaver" and learn how the W&LE is actively seeking to make crossings safer.

Experience again the 1990 - December 1992 start-up era of this most interesting regional with a name tied to tradition. Wonderful & Lively Entertainment!
