This spiral notebook celebrates the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway, known for two main routes crossing within Ohio and connections among Cleveland, Zanesville and gateways near Wheeling. The line carried coal, iron ore and general merchandise, built locomotives at Brewster, and opened Huron–Massillon service in 1882. Its journey from independent railroad to absorption into Norfolk Southern in 1988 gives W\u0026amp;LE fans and history-minded writers plenty to remember.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway grew from an Ohio railroad that began standard-gauge operations in 1880 under investor Jay Gould. Its routes connected Cleveland, Zanesville and Wheeling-area gateways, later extending toward Pittsburgh and Toledo; its main lines remained within Ohio. Freight included coal, iron ore and general merchandise. The railroad opened service between Huron and Massillon on January 9, 1882, and Huron docks received their first iron ore cargo on May 21, 1884. Brewster became its headquarters in 1914, and the company produced locomotives there beginning in 1910. Known for two main routes crossing in Ohio, it acquired the Cleveland, Canton \u0026amp; Southern Railroad in 1899. Passenger service ended in 1940. In 1949, the New York, Chicago \u0026amp; St. Louis Railroad, commonly called the Nickel Plate Road, leased the W\u0026amp;LE. The 1964 combination of that railroad with the Norfolk and Western Railway brought the W\u0026amp;LE into N\u0026amp;W; after N\u0026amp;W combined with Southern Railway, it became part of Norfolk Southern. The railroad was absorbed into Norfolk Southern in 1988, ending its existence as a separate subsidiary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eOne Size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e8.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eLength, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e6.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eThickness, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e0.60\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 118 ruled pages (59 sheets) of smooth 90gsm paper for clear, bleed-resistant writing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 350gsm front and back covers with a printed front and dark grey back for durability\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Metal spiral binding that lays flat and allows easy page removal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Interior document pocket on back cover for storing receipts, maps, or notes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Compact size: 6\" x 8\" (15.2 x 20.3 cm) — portable and ride-ready\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use a soft, clean and dry cloth to gently brush any dust or dirt off from the center of book outwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, two year warranty in the EU and Northern Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Use a soft, clean and dry cloth to gently brush any dust or dirt off from the center of book outwards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"One Size","offer_id":54889901064476,"sku":"33000232284914927928","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/8381181866787697442_2048.jpg?v=1794340939","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/wheeling-and-lake-erie-railway-1916-1988-spiral-notebook","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
