1802 is hard at work switching the Sunoco plant, one of many industries located along the the AVR's Valley Line.

AVR 1 returns from Homewood, destined for Island Ave. to pick up another cut of interchange cars.

This ex-SP switcher leads two other units north to interchange with the Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad. Thanks to George Neat for his assistance!

AVR 1802 warms up to start the night shift.

It's a quiet night for 1801, which powers AVR 2 six evenings per week.

KC32 is almost done building its train and will soon head back to CP Bloom and then Glennwood Yard

A lashup of four units leads AVR 1 onto NS's Pittsburgh Line.

AVR 1802 and two "undecorated" units go about their interchange chores at Island Ave.

AVR 7559 idle in Latrobe waiting for it's trip the the SWP.

The AVR switches the Bellefield Boiler House on its way south/east to Glenwood. Note the lightning above the Carnegie Mellon Univ buildings in the background.

Many of the crossing flashers were not yet in service, requiring the AVR crew to flag each crossing. If not for this practice we would not have been able to chase this job.

One of the first AVR trains to use the ex-CSX P&W Sub north of Pittsburgh exits the Glenshaw Tunnel. The crew was aware that we were going to flash them coming out of the tunnel. :)

After running west on the P&W, AVR 1 stops at Bloom where he awaits clearance to enter the NS main.
