BB-PNLX 7471 West symbol Z631, North Mountain, Virginia_

A westbound Western Maryland freight out of Cumberland is struggling up the 1.75 percent grade to reach the summit of the Allegheny Mountains at Deal, Pennsylvania. Just kidding...this is Buckingham Branch RR's Mountain Local working up the steady 1.6 percent grade up North Mountain on their way to Clifton Forge and a swap of cars with the CSX. The power short BB is leasing this built for the Western Maryland unit. It wears its as delivered, the year 1966, number and paint scheme.
