SWP 2003 on the Bullskin Branch |
Description: |
This was the locomotive that pulled the gondolas down further as they were being filled. You can see the large stockpile of coal in the background. A duo of Michigan brand front end loaders were kept busy for about 8 hours filling the train. This line has only recently started being used again to load coal trains. Right now they are doing one train a week/four a month. The coal was bound for a power plant in New York. Back in the 80s was the heyday for this coal yard when the tracks were owned by Conrail and I can still remember the Conrail blues roaming these tracks almost daily. SWP 2003 is a former JTPX (1801), IC 8705, ICG 8705, MBTA 7555, Conrail 7555, PC 7555, NH 1225. Built in August 1956, it began as a GP9 and is now upgraded to a GP11. |

Stranded SWP 2003 |
Description: |
On this snowy Sunday afternoon the SWP railroad attempted to make a run up the ex-B&O Sheepskin Branch with a train of loaded sand hoppers. That did not go according to plan. Over a foot of snow on the tracks made the train bog down in no time. It got as far as O&B Junction in Wheeler Bottom and here it sits. The conductor tries in vain to put sand onto the tracks. There was traction to be had. Maybe a Jordan Spreader, rotary plow or something similar would have been able to clear a path but it is not like the SWP owns anything like that. They eventually gave up and shoved their train backwards across Greene Junction to CSX. Other engines on the train were SWP 2001, SWP 2006, and AVR 2004. |

Introducing.......SWP 2006 |
Description: |
Used by the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad as NREX 8749 for a few years, they now officially have ownership. The number boards, number patch, and SWP on the side have just been added onto it. Seen at its home, the Scottdale station. This is a former Illinois Central 9314 GP9 built back in December 1957. Rebuilt to a GP11 at the IC Paducah Shops. Now the only question is where are SWP 2004 and 2005. They have skipped two numbers. |

Description: |
Overhead look at the only SWP GP11 that isn't red. Built as IC 9314 GP9 in December 1957. Later became IC 8749 after undergoing a rebuild to a GP11 at the Paducah Shops. Eventually it moved on, becoming SLR 8749 and NREX 8749. Late last year it finally was officially renumbered 2006 for the SWP. It can be hard to photograph this one in full sunlight due to the bright yellow but I think I pulled it off this time. |

Description: |
A mixed freight train with four GP11's is idling in a snowstorm at O&B Junction in Wheeler Bottom, waiting for permission from CSX to go over to Greene Junction. The abandoned relay box on the right was from when this line was signaled and double tracked back in the B&O days. Even further back, in the early part of the 20th century, there was a junction to the right with the O&B shortline. After all these years, it is still called O&B Junction. |
