17 E44s were acquired by the Silver Lines after Conrail shutdown their electrification in 1981. These were upgraded and rebuilt between June 1981 and August 1982 where, now painted in phase 4c and christened with numbers E30 to E46, they joined the GE Motors and Little Joes (and the E33s the next year) in hauling coal and freight through West Virginia. In the late 80s and early 90s, the wires expanded northwards from Parkersburg and into Columbus and Cleveland each. The EF4s and E44s migrated out this way first and got plenty of opportunities to finally stretch their legs.
Here, we find E44 E30 and EF4 E75 rolling a train eastbound. Mostly hoppers, but plenty of mixed freight strewn within.

Those look like C&O style signals. Off the DLS by any chance?
