Remarks & Notes

Buckingham Branch GP7 # 1 passes Alpha on the run from Dillwyn down to the ex-C&O James River line junction with eight wood chip cars bound for a large paper mill in Covington VA. Each of the wood chip loads takes approximately four tractor trailers off of Virginia highways. The venerable Geep was built in 1951 for the L&N.
