A pair of twin GP40-3's shoving back in the Connellsville CSX yard for some switching duties. Both are former KCS engines. As busy as the SWP railroad is, there is no time to put engines in the shop for a new paint job. |

Description: |
Sometimes things are not what they appear. It looks like the SWP railroad is now in the oil train business. But actually they were simply moving these tank cars to a different track so that they could get to the cars they needed. The tank cars would later go out on a K057 train. |

Just by pure luck, a K053 empty oil train passes west at exactly the right time as SWP train Z687-05 is shoving back into the Connellsville CSX Yard. It almost feels like it could be a scene from the Midwest. Especially if you consider that SWP 4006 still has the grey paint from KCS. |

Description: |
Three EMD GP11s power this Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad freight train north on the former B&O Sheepskin Branch on April, 16, 2014. On the left you see the cleared trees for the recently reclaimed Bowest Yard in Dunbar, PA. Closed by the Western Maryland Railway in the 1970's, the yard and facilities were removed except for a few overgrown tracks. A booming Marcellus Shale natural gas industry in the region persuaded the SWP Railroad to invest in reconstructing Bowest Yard, which will allow them to store more freight cars and give quick access to nearby CSX. Also, on the right side the trees have been cleared for a second track to run from Wheeler to Mount Braddock, PA. The past is truly reliving itself, as this section was double-tracked in the days of the B&O. |

In perfect evening sunlight, a SWP loaded sand train using run-through locomotives from Norfolk Southern is crossing the Greene Junction bridge over the serene Youghiogheny River. The locomotives are a C40-8W, SD90MAC (former UP), and a C40-9. As far as I know this is the first time a SD90MAC has been on this rail line. The train number is Z687-05, because it is coming off the CSX Keystone Subdivision on the other side of the river. |

Heading north through Bowest after a new morning crew picked up their engines in Mount Braddock and worked the sidings in that area. SWP 4005 is the leader here. The land on the right which was cleared for the modern Bowest Yard has grown up again. It doesnt take long. |

AVR 4004, SWP 2001, SWP 2003 |
Description: |
A set of three engines on the rear of an empty sand train in Bowest, Dunbar PA. I would call them helpers but that is not the word to use because they were only going to be pulled along by the train, rather than help push the empty train. |
