A triplet of GP11's doing some switching work after bring back some full loads from Connellsville. The AVR engine was sent by parent company Carload Express to help out here, because an SWP engine is broken down. Also SWP 2002 was used in the famous "Unstoppable" movie for the locomotive on the excursion train that barely avoided hitting the runaway train. |

SWP 2002, AVR 2005, NREX 8749 |
| Description: |
The rare sight of these three engines working together is due to the fact that one of the SWPs engines is broken down. So an AVR (Allegheny Valley Railroad) engine was brought down from Pittsburgh to lend a hand. After doing numerous very complicated railcar switching jobs in Everson, the train finally crosses Jacobs Creek into Scottdale, with an equal amount of engines and cars. After a brief stop in Scottdale, their next destination is Greensburg. SWP and AVR are subsidiaries of Carload Express Inc., which is why they have an identical scheme. Also SWP 2002 was used in the famous "Unstoppable" movie for the locomotive on the excursion train that barely avoided hitting the runaway train. |

NREX 8749 on the Bullskin Branch |
| Description: |
Part of the fleet of the SWP railroad, this one was brought down the line later on when some more power was needed to pull out about half the train after it was filled. Two W&LE GP35s were behind this. This is a former Illinois Central 9314 GP9 built back in December 1957. Rebuilt to a GP11 at the IC Paducah Shops. A collaboration of four different railroads team up on this train of SOM (Somerset Railroad Corporation) coal gondolas. A duo of Michigan brand front end loaders was kept busy for about 8 hours filling the train. This line has only recently started being used again to load coal trains. Right now they are doing one train a week/four a month. Im told this train is bound for New York. Back in the 80s was the heyday for this coal yard when the tracks were owned by Conrail and I can still remember the Conrail blues roaming these tracks almost daily. Im taking photos now to make up for the ones I didnt get back then. |

A short freight local going east into Connellsville on CSX rails. The other two locomotives on the SWP roster were in the rear. SWP 2001 was reconditioned and repainted the past summer at the National Railway Equipment shops in Dixmoor, Illinois. The EMD GP11 was built as IC 9333 GP9 in December 1957. NREX 8749 EMD GP11 was built as IC 9314 GP9 in December 1957. SWP now has ownership of it and a cranberry red and yellow paint job will be in its future. |
