B&O 9061 Summer 2012 (2)         
The restored Alco S2 owned by the Fayette Central Railroad is shoving the passenger train southbound in the area between Wheeler and BoWest on a fabulous summer day. This was the train's second trip of the day. These railroad tracks are formerly the B&O "Sheepskin Line". At one time there was a second track off to the right. It has been announced that this will be the final year that these passenger trains will be able to run on the old Sheepskin Line, due to an increase in freight traffic volume for the SWP Railroad which uses this same line.
