I don't know the railway

We were hoping for some different locomotives, but this is what came through. There's a little building nearby that says W & L.E.
W & L.E. stands for Wheeling & Lake Erie. This locomotive is owned by them, but has not been repainted in their colors.

Further info on the unit:
