Power that came from a sand train waits at Mile 324 at the SWP Radebaugh Interchange with the NS Pittsburgh Line. The snow on the tracks here has melted due to this railroad being so busy. |

NS 7264 |
| 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. |

NS 8466, 7264, 8883 |
| 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. |

NS 8883, 7264, 8466 |
| 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. |
