SWP 2002 winter (2)         
The rear help on a freight local train headed to the CSX yard to drop off/switch cars. Downtown Connellsville is in the background. This engine is a former Union Pacific 708 GP7 built in 1953. Also SWP 2002 was used in the famous "Unstoppable" movie for the locomotive on the excursion train that barely avoided hitting the runaway train.
