Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad

Created in 1995, Southwest Pennsylvania (SWP) is owned by Westmoreland and Fayette counties, and operated by Carload Express as part of a long term operating agreement. SWP operates 66 miles of track, running from Greensburg, PA. through vibrant towns such as Youngwood, Scottdale, Connellsville, and Uniontown to its southern terminus at Smithfield. SWP is situated at the confluence of the region’s major highways, which allows shippers to utilize the new Westmoreland Rail Freight Terminal (operated by Safe Handling, Inc.) to transfer their goods from truck to rail for delivery as far way as the eastern seaboard. This combines the advantage of long haul rail economics with the flexibility of truck delivery to your door. Contact our marketing and sales staff to find out more about how SWP can serve your needs.
