Fayette Central Railroad, river crossing |
| Description: |
The weekend tourist train pausing for photos on the Greene Junction Bridge over the Youghiogheny River in South Connellsville. The train is made up of B&O 9061, PESX 5045, PC 18086, and P&LE 504. The passenger car was leased from the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad in the summer. It was built June 1, 1923 by Canadian Car & Foundry for Canadian National Railway. It has a capacity of 80 passengers. The train does not go any further forward than this because it would be entering CSX tracks. From here it shoves backwards towards Dunbar and Uniontown. |

B&O 9061 Summer 2012 (2) |
| Description: |
The restored Alco S2 owned by the Fayette Central Railroad is shoving the passenger train southbound in the area between Wheeler and BoWest on a fabulous summer day. This was the train's second trip of the day. These railroad tracks are formerly the B&O "Sheepskin Line". At one time there was a second track off to the right. It has been announced that this will be the final year that these passenger trains will be able to run on the old Sheepskin Line, due to an increase in freight traffic volume for the SWP Railroad which uses this same line. |
