SWP 2003, 2006, 2001
Title:  SWP 2003, 2006, 2001
Description:  Three EMD GP11s power this Southwest Pennsvlvania 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 regiol 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.

Title:  SWP 2001, AVR 4002, SWP 4005
Description:  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.

Title:  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.

Title:  AVR 4002, SWP 4006, 406
Description:  A short mixed train of empty pipe gondolas and sand hoppers passing north on the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroads Sheepskin Branch at Bowest. 4006 and 406 are a mated power set called an HD40-2, the newest addition to the SWP lineup. This is my first photo of them being used on a train.

Title:  SWP 406, SWP 4006, AVR 4002
Description:  A train of covered hoppers going north at Bowest, led by the recently rebuilt HD40-2 combination of engines. This is not really the shot I wanted but I ran out of time because a portion of the nearby Sheepskin Trail had been moved by the contractors rebuilding the Bowest Yard.

SWP 406 and 4006
Title:  SWP 406 and 4006
Description:  Light engine movement going north at Bowest, towards CSX and Connellsville. It is a good thing they were not pulling anything because this is a going away shot and the light was best for that. The leaves have been stripped from the trees by days of heavy storms and winds. And now we get the nice weather.

Description:  Just when everyone thought the sand trains on the SWP Railroad were finished, here comes another teaser. Seen at Bowest, Dunbar where the grade really starts to get tough and the engines have to start pulling hard.

SWP 3503 and 3501 (4))
Title:  SWP 3503 and 3501 (4))
Description:  The Southwestern Pennsylvania Railroads pair of SD40-2s shoving a loaded sand train up the grade at Bowest, Dunbar. The sound of them in notch-8 was so thrilling that I was wishing I had taken a video instead of a photo. The sound reverberated for miles even after the train had long passed me.

Title:  SWP 3503 and 3501 (5)
Description:  SWP 3503 and 3501 heading off into the distance towards Dunbar, PA on a loaded sand train. For the history buffs, the empty bridge on the left of the train was the one for Western Maryland's Bowest Yard and the empty bridge on the right of the train was from a B&O siding track. If things go perfectly, both of those will have tracks again in the future.
