CN 5699 and 8802 |
| Description: |
Q277-10 going west past the site of the former Old Overholt Distillery in Broadford. It was cold, windy, and dreary and not very springlike at all. But the two Canadian engines made it worth coming out for. |

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 |
| 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. |

Just when everyone thought the sand trains on the SWP Railroad were finished, here comes another teaser. Seen at Bowest, Dunbar where the grade really starts to get tough and the engines have to start pulling hard. |

| Description: |
An empty sand train with three CN locomotives and one NS locomotive has stopped at O&B Junction in Wheeler Bottom, on the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad. So I had to come up with something creative with the light being behind the train. This is the result. Seen through the trusses of the former Western Maryland bridge that is now part of the Great Allegheny Passage. Also in the lineup are CN 2574, CN 5782, and NS 6773. |
