| Description: |
Three EMD GP11s power this Southwest Pennsvlvania Railroad freight train north on the former B&O Sheepskin Branch on April, 16, 2014. On the left you see the cleared trees for the recently reclaimed Bowest Yard in Dunbar, PA. Closed by the Western Maryland Railway in the 1970's, the yard and facilities were removed except for a few overgrown tracks. A booming Marcellus Shale natural gas industry in the regiol persuaded the SWP Railroad to invest in reconstructing Bowest Yard, which"will allow them to store more freight cars and give quick access to nearby CSX. Also, on the right side the$trees have been cleared for a second track to run from Wheeler to Mount Braddock, PA. The past is truly reliving itself, as this section was double-tracked in the days of the B&O. |

| Description: |
A set of three engines on the rear of an empty sand train in Bowest, Dunbar PA. I would call them helpers but that is not the word to use because they were only going to be pulled along by the train, rather than help push the empty train. |

Great day for a caboose |
| Description: |
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. |

New motive power for the Delmarva area! |
| Description: |
Making my usual rounds about the airport to check out the DCLR I was quite surprised to find 9 AVR/SWP units parked on a siding in the woods. Turns out the paper work has been filed for the company Carloads Express to lease the tracks from Norfolk Southern under the name of Delmarva Central Railroad. Looks like some new color will be coming to our area! Luckily I caught all 9 locomotives awaiting work! |
