A mix of GP11's and GP40-3's that makes up the entire SWP roster is on this 83 car monster of a train. At the time it was the most cars I have ever seen the shortline SWP handle. They were all empty sand hoppers. Seen going west on the CSX Keystone Sub. |

Sometimes things are not what they appear. It looks like the SWP railroad is now in the oil train business. But actually they were simply moving these tank cars to a different track so that they could get to the cars they needed. The tank cars would later go out on a K057 train. |

A nathan P3 horn that is on SWP 4006 GP40-3. From a distance I thought it was a Leslie only because that is what are on the SWP GP11s. |

A short mixed train of empty pipe gondolas and sand hoppers passing north on the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroads Sheepskin Branch at Bowest. 4006 and 406 are a mated power set called an HD40-2, the newest addition to the SWP lineup. This is my first photo of them being used on a train. |

SWP 406, SWP 4006, AVR 4002 |
| Description: |
A train of covered hoppers going north at Bowest, led by the recently rebuilt HD40-2 combination of engines. This is not really the shot I wanted but I ran out of time because a portion of the nearby Sheepskin Trail had been moved by the contractors rebuilding the Bowest Yard. |

SWP 406 and 4006 |
| Description: |
Light engine movement going north at Bowest, towards CSX and Connellsville. It is a good thing they were not pulling anything because this is a going away shot and the light was best for that. The leaves have been stripped from the trees by days of heavy storms and winds. And now we get the nice weather. |

SWP 4006 and 406 |

At Wheeler Bottom approaching the Greene Junction Bridge to go west onto CSX. The train had 19 cars, a mix of sand hoppers and tank cars. The new slug set is seeing almost daily use on the SWP Sheepskin Branch right now. SWP 4006 was built as MILW 170 GP40 in January 1967 then later became SOO 2043 GP40 and KCS 4737 GP40-3. |

| Description: |
Heading north through Bowest in Dunbar after picking up some empties from Universal Well Services in Mount Braddock. Note the new gravel base has been put down for the future Bowest Yard of the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad. Tracks are slated to go in sometime next year. The yard lead will be off to the left where it crosses a small bridge and then meets the mainline. |

SWP 4006 |
| Description: |
At 6:11 in the morning the SWP Railroad is already out and about, doing a rare movement of a stone train on the barely-used Bullskin Branch. This is the fourth bridge over Mounts Creek when the train is coming from this direction. For many decades the only trains loaded on this dead-end spur were coal trains. This is the second of what are supposed to be five stone trains. |

Loaded stone train running past an empty lot along Moyer Road in Bullskin Township. The SWP Bullskin Branch has seen very little action in the past few years so the stone trains are a welcome sight. |
