| Description: |
An unnamed private crossing just outside Owensdale, PA. Not to be overly dramatic, but the forklift only stopped for the train at the last second, just feet from the train. |

Going over the second grade crossing in Broadford, running light with four engines and no freight. The train looks so big in comparison to that house. |

| Description: |
Train Z685-03 is ready to go west out of the Connellsville CSX yard on a 14 degree morning. Seeing the SWP railroad operate is always like a trip back into the past with these rebuilt GP11 engines in their original GP9 bodies. All were built in the mid-50's and are still going strong. |

Sometimes things come together just right and this was one of those rare times. A meeting of AVR 2004 and a very late Amtrak P030-28 train. Also a yard job stretches around the bend on the left. |

| Description: |
Today the SWP Railroad has lost the battle with winter and is forced to shove their train backwards off the ex-B&O Sheepskin Branch because of snow that was over a foot high. Here it is passing underneath the former Western Maryland Bowest Bridge in Wheeler Bottom. |

Going west past the Connellsville CSX Yard with approximately 100 emtpy sand cars. I'm not much of car counter but that would be my estimate. The fracking business must be good. |

At the bridge street crossing, a pair of GP11s have three boxcars that need to be delivered to Menasha. They are going to go down the 3-mile Yukon Branch, with the switch being just beyond the crossing. The conductor would get on the end of the last boxcar to lead the way. |

| Description: |
Two GP11s have brought three boxcars to the Menasha Packaging Company in Yukon, PA. There were already two boxcars inside that needed pulled out. So the train shoved against them, coupled up, brought the cars back down the track to a siding, uncoupled the two empties, and then brought the loaded boxcars into the plant. Photographed safely from public property with zoom. |

A GP11 and two SD40-2s crossing Woods Road between Owensdale and Everson, PA. They are on their way back to Scottdale just in time for lunch. 3503 is leading here. I sometimes like when they are not pulling any freight because it gives more options to photograph the engines from either end. |
