This past May while I was in the town of Grottoes, VA MCing their annual bluegrass festival, I had seen where a flared SD70MAC locomotive would lead westbound grain empties up Buckingham Branch’s North Mountain Subdivision in mint early evening light. Considering that I had some downtime, and the lighting gave me a motive, I decided to give my good friend Brady a call and see if he wanted to give chase. The rest was history.
Here we see the train between Fishersville and Staunton, at a location known as Plecker Hill. This is a fairly undershot location, and one that I think deserves some more attention. With the road paralleling the tracks for about a mile, there’s plenty of different compositions to be had here, and it’s a nice alternative to the spot in the town of Fishersville and the often popular station in historic Staunton.
