The engineer gives it some throttle coming across the Greene Junction Bridge on the Youghiogheny River. It had just come off a restart on the other side of the bridge, waiting for permission to get into the CSX yard. This is a former bridge/line of the B&O Railroad. #2002 is a former UP 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.
