- W632008602 abstract "This article, the fifth in a series on the Wheeling & Lake Erie (W&LE) Railway, provides an in-depth look at the history of the W&LE as well as the current business practices that keep the railroad successful. Chartered in 1871, the W&LE hauled mostly coal and later, manufactured goods. Even when the economy soured during the Great Depression, the W&LE remained profitable, through a skimpy maintenance budget that led to a high casualty rate. The railroad went through a succession of owners, beginning in 1949 when the Nickel Plate Road took out a 99-year lease on it. Then in 1990, the railroad was spun off by Norfolk Southern as a possible way of addressing antitrust concerns. This step ultimately allowed the W&LE to come back to life in mid-1990. After a rocky start that included layoffs and the sacking of the original top management, W&LE has become a success story with revenues of $76 million annually. It is now comparable in size to many pre-1970 Class 1s, and some speculate that it may be reabsorbed by one of the big railroads. Not so, according to W&LE president William Callison, who says the railroad is committed to remaining an independent regional railroad." @default.
