| Description: |
A former Union Pacific SD90MAC is surprisingly one of the three engines on a northbound SWP sand train on the Greene Junction Bridge. There was a time not too long ago when the SWP Sheepskin Branch could not have a locomotive this large and heavy on it. |

| Description: |
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. |

| Description: |
A train of empty sand cars sits in the hot sun at Wheeler Bottom, also known as O&B Junction. The train had a wait time of 3+ hours because it could not get onto CSX which was doing track work. The rails on the ground here are for the SWP Railroads own track improvements. A second track will be added around the bend. |
