BB - RF&P 101 local Z710, Bremo, Virginia2_

Buckingham Branch Railroad's Dillwyn Local symbol Z710 has backed onto the CSX main and headed for the small interchange yard at Strathmore, two and a half miles away. Just visible at the rear of the train is a red bay-window caboose that is used by the conductor as a shoving platform. The hand throw switch is where the BB line ties in. The 13 loads of wood chips are destined to a papermill along the CSX at Covington, Va.

 

The RF&P Geep sees little use on this job anymore as there are now a pair of BB Geeps that are used.
