| Description: |
A fair-weather look at one of two GP40-3's that had arrived from LLPX for AVR in 2012. Here it was on the sister railroad SWP to help out fill the void left by SWP 2002 which is currently out of service. This was originally built for Kansas City Southern and still has those colors. |

A rare sighting of the SWP railroad actually moving their former Maine Central 652 caboose around. I am not sure what the special occasion was. But they put it right back on the track by their office where it has been for years. |
