It was a pleasantly warm Saturday Feb. 23, 1985 on the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac at Milford, VA. With an early quit in mind, the Acca Local has already turned and the next stop is Acca Yard in Richmond. GP40 No. 127 will make quick work of that 36 miles.. A note about those cars on the right. At the time, RF&P was using the yard at Milford to store cars that are waiting to be scrapped. When the price was right, they would be moved to Richmond for forwarding via SBD to Peck Iron and Metal in South Richmond. Many of the boxcars stopped at Bryan Park Terminal in Richmond to have the roller bearing trucks switched out with friction bearing trucks from RF&P MofW and sand service cars. RF&P's old equipment got roller bearing trucks and the friction bearing ones went to the scrapper.
