Viewing Album:  Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad and Allegheny Valley Railroad (SWP and AVR)
 
By:Curt Beal
Dates:4/16/2009 - 8/29/2024
Album Info:Includes action from Connellsville, Broadford, Owensdale, Everson, Lemont Furnace, Mount Braddock, and Scottdale, Pa. The trains in Connellsville, Pa are using CSX track rights. The SWP shortline railroad goes from Greensburg (Westmoreland County) to Smithfield (Fayette County). It uses branches that were originally CSX (B&O railroad before that) and also Conrail (PRR before that). It branches in various directions from here: Hunker to Yukon, Everson to Mount Pleasant, Everson to Connellsville Township, (coal line), Everson to Broadford, and Connellsville to Smithfield. The parent company of the SWP is Carload Express of Oakmont, PA.

NS 2537 (4)
Title:  NS 2537 (4)
Description:  Loaded sand train on the SWP Railroad passing through New Stanton. The engine lineup includes NS 2537, 7247, 9693 and 2592. There was a bit of snow remaining in the cut which I think contrasted nicely with the black engine. Photographed from the South Center Avenue overpass.

SWP 3503 and 3501 (1)
Title:  SWP 3503 and 3501 (1)
Description:  Two SD40-2 helpers have just been added onto the rear of a loaded sand train in back of Buncher Commerce Park. It is my first day seeing these two in action. The little GE 25 ton switcher here sees very little action, and has a tank-like appearance with the windows covered.

AVR 2004, SWP 3501, SWP 3503
Title:  AVR 2004, SWP 3501, SWP 3503
Description:  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.

Great day for a caboose
Title:  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.

Title:  SWP 3503 and 3501 (4))
Description:  The Southwestern Pennsylvania Railroads pair of SD40-2s shoving a loaded sand train up the grade at Bowest, Dunbar. The sound of them in notch-8 was so thrilling that I was wishing I had taken a video instead of a photo. The sound reverberated for miles even after the train had long passed me.

Title:  SWP 3503 and 3501 (5)
Description:  SWP 3503 and 3501 heading off into the distance towards Dunbar, PA on a loaded sand train. For the history buffs, the empty bridge on the left of the train was the one for Western Maryland's Bowest Yard and the empty bridge on the right of the train was from a B&O siding track. If things go perfectly, both of those will have tracks again in the future.

SWP 406 (6)
Title:  SWP 406 (6)
Description:  The Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad is seen dropping off some cars at the Catchup Logistics warehouse in South Greensburg. This is the first time I've been able to see them doing this move. SWP 406 is a road slug but can be controlled in the cab when connected to another locomotive, namely SWP 4006.

Marooned
Title:  Marooned
Description:  An empty sand train of 80 cars and eight locomotives (SWP 406, SWP 4006, AVR 4005, AVR 405, CN 8813, CN 8942, CN 8897, NS 9886) coming to a stop at O&B Junction in Wheeler Bottom, Dunbar Township. The crew had to leave the train here because CSX was going to make them wait too long to get onto their tracks across the river. Up above the train the Sheepskin bike/hike trail runs along the hillside, which used to the the lead track for Western Maryland Railways Bowest Yard.

Eight is great
Title:  Eight is great
Description:  An epic eight locomotive lineup of SWP 406, SWP 4006, AVR 4005, AVR 405, CN 8813, CN 8942, CN 8897, and NS 9886 that has just picked up a train of 80 empty sand cars in Lemont Furnace, PA. That was after they ran a loaded train down to Smithfield, PA early in the morning in the dark. SWP 406-4006 and AVR 4005-405 work together as slug sets, giving a rare chance to get both of them together on one train.
