SWP 2001 and NREX 8749         
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.
