Title:  AVR 2004 SWP 2006 SWP 2003 SWP 2001 (2)
Description:  Train Z685-03 is ready to go west out of the Connellsville CSX yard on a 14 degree morning. Seeing the SWP railroad operate is always like a trip back into the past with these rebuilt GP11 engines in their original GP9 bodies. All were built in the mid-50's and are still going strong.

SWP 2003, 2001, 2006, and AVR 2004
Title:  SWP 2003, 2001, 2006, and AVR 2004
Description:  Today the SWP Railroad has lost the battle with winter and is forced to shove their train backwards off the ex-B&O Sheepskin Branch because of snow that was over a foot high. Here it is passing underneath the former Western Maryland Bowest Bridge in Wheeler Bottom.

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:  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.

New motive power for the Delmarva area!
Title:  New motive power for the Delmarva area!
Description:  Making my usual rounds about the airport to check out the DCLR I was quite surprised to find 9 AVR/SWP units parked on a siding in the woods. Turns out the paper work has been filed for the company Carloads Express to lease the tracks from Norfolk Southern under the name of Delmarva Central Railroad. Looks like some new color will be coming to our area! Luckily I caught all 9 locomotives awaiting work!
