Remarks: Savage 7107 is an SW1200RS, a custom rebuild by Canadian National receiving the long hood from a GP9. This unique series of switchers were nicknamed the "sweep" since they were a kind of switcher and geep combo. The SVGX 7107 is in transit, on it's way to Henderson, Nevada to perform contact switching in the Las Vegas area.
Remarks: Ever since taking a photo from this spot on a cloudy afternoon in December 2005, I'd wanted to come back and try it again on a sunny day. Nearly four years later, it all worked out, resulting in this photo of the W&LE's local to Connellsville ducking under the Mon-Fayette Expressway's Joe Montana Bridges.
Remarks: NS high and wide 054 reverse's their train into Rose yard to clear the main and to have the ditch lights repaired. These units are headed to Norfolk to loaded on a ship for the UK.
Remarks: The "runaway" train in the upcoming movie Unstoppable makes another trip back and forth on the old B&O bridge from Bellaire Ohio to Benwood West Virginia. Filming took place in Bellaire from November 9 thru 14.
