Celebrating its 60th birthday in November 2010, this former Uceta GP16 was originally built for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. During the late 1970’s, it became one in a series of rebuilt diesel-electric locomotives that was part of a cost cutting remanufacturing initiative by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. These remanufactured units would ultimately cost the Seaboard Coast Line approximately one-half of the cost for a new locomotive. Next to the BB Engine sits an old Southern Railroad covered hopper car that was built in the 1980’s.
The "BB" was founded in 1988 and ran its first train on March 6, 1989. The BB has grown from 17 miles of track and two employees to 275 miles and 75 employees, spanning over Virginia in three separate divisions.
