After a light overnight snowfall, the cloudy skies moved out, yielding a cold but nice morning with sunshine and a layer of snow on the ground across Wheeling country. Eastbound train 228 with a pair of 7000's breaks the mid-morning silence as they reach the top of the hill east of Creston at a location known to the local Wheeling foamers as Douglas. The schedule of this train and its counterpart, 227 has recently changed to accommodate Norfolk Southern's operations in Bellevue. Both trains now run in daylight for a majority of their trip, operating in and out of Bellevue during the night.
