Here we have day to day operations on the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. Railfan Scott Nelson captured the RF&P, shot just prior to and right at merger time, with much of the action at ACCA Yard and Doswell where the railroad crosses the C&O main. This is pre-CSX footage with all trains being led by Blue & Gray RF&P GP-40, GP-40-2 and GP-35 units. We'll see switchers, locals, and the Bear Island train with all RF&P Equipment.<br><br>The RF&P was chronically short on power, so even prior to the merger they borrowed CSX power, so you will see some older CSX power too.<br><br>Video includes no narration, but does include subtitles with locations and train numbers - and original RF&P sound, so you can hear the great sounding RF&P horns! Color and natural ambient sound. No narration. |
