Brief Description: Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway operates over a network of about 950 miles of track between the Ohio River and Lake Erie and passes through parts of Maryland and West Virginia. The company's system links the coal fields of West Virginia (Wheeling) with industrial Cleveland and its docks (Lake Erie). In addition to coal, the railroad hauls aggregates, iron ore and steel products, among other cargo. Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway owns some 575 miles of track; trackage rights over other railroads account for the rest of the company's network.
