DGVR Durban & Greenbrier FP7-A #243 Tygart Jct, WV 01-13-20
This wasn't the first time I rode in the 243 that occurred about 45 years ago when it was owned by the CP operating as their #4071. It was one of 10 FP7's that were maintained to operate in international service, when they weren't hauling passengers they were hauling freight. 47 years she still is doing the same thing picking up 3 cars of corn starch from the A&O at Tygart Junction. Beautiful but in accessible unless you walk in.
