SWP Sand Empties On CSX |
| Description: |
SWP 3503, SWP 3501, CN 2508, CN 2264, NS 8822, and NS 9756 running westbound past the Connellsville CSX Yard on their way back to the SWP Railroad's own rails a few miles away. 3503 and 3501 were the rear helpers when the train was full, and it was easier to put all the power on one end to bring the train back from Smithfield, PA. |

NS 8846 |
| Description: |
A GE C40-9W going around the south leg of the wye at Brownsville Junction to do a turn-around so it will be facing the correct direction on a coal train across the river in the yard. I think from up here it almost looks like a model train. |

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. |

NS 7572 and 8886 |
| Description: |
An eastbound intermodal at Penn, in sunlight that I was grateful to get. Fast moving clounds ruined quite a few train shots today. |
