AVR 4005 and 405
Title:  AVR 4005 and 405
Description:  A pair of new arrivals on the SWP Railroad, borrowed from the sister railroad AVR. Here they are waiting to get onto CSX in Broadford and go east to Connellsville. A bit of color remains on the trees even at the late date of November 14. The GP40-3 and Road Slug are new to this site and further information on them is pending.

Marooned
Title:  Marooned
Description:  An empty sand train of 80 cars and eight locomotives (SWP 406, SWP 4006, AVR 4005, AVR 405, CN 8813, CN 8942, CN 8897, NS 9886) coming to a stop at O&B Junction in Wheeler Bottom, Dunbar Township. The crew had to leave the train here because CSX was going to make them wait too long to get onto their tracks across the river. Up above the train the Sheepskin bike/hike trail runs along the hillside, which used to the the lead track for Western Maryland Railways Bowest Yard.

Eight is great
Title:  Eight is great
Description:  An epic eight locomotive lineup of SWP 406, SWP 4006, AVR 4005, AVR 405, CN 8813, CN 8942, CN 8897, and NS 9886 that has just picked up a train of 80 empty sand cars in Lemont Furnace, PA. That was after they ran a loaded train down to Smithfield, PA early in the morning in the dark. SWP 406-4006 and AVR 4005-405 work together as slug sets, giving a rare chance to get both of them together on one train.
