CSX 520 West empty grain symbol G700-10, Little Rock Tunnel - Afton, Virginia_
Red bud is budding on the mountain. A CSX empty grainer is about to the top of the Buckingham Branch RR's Afton Mountain crossing of the Blue Ridge. Roughly three quarters of the way up the 1.3 percent grade west of Charlottesville is Little Rock Tunnel. At just under 100-feet in length the name surely fits. Here an empty grainer exits the west portal. This is the old C&O Mountain Sub now operated by the Buckingham Branch.
