Boston & Maine Jeep in Buckingham Branch territory
Title:  Boston & Maine Jeep in Buckingham Branch territory
Description:  You would not believe the action at Doswell today. BBRR is moving cars with 2 engines and crews plus their track crew is replacing ties in this yard at Doswell. If their service today is any indication of the future, they're gonna need a bigger yard!

Ahhh, we have a train
Title:  Ahhh, we have a train
Description:  #5 has set out the cars. #3 is coupling the last set and almost ready to head out across the diamond. I must have looked at this pic a dozen times before I noticed the spare knuckles carried on the pilot.

The work is never done
Title:  The work is never done
Description:  #5 went right to work moving more cars around after #3 pulled out of the yard. I do like the big roads but I've never seen them "hump" like these guys. I think all the hub-bub leading up to the BBRR running the Piedmont Sub is going to turn out to be a bunch of bunk. This is a first class operation!

BB 5
Title:  BB 5
Description:  CSX RF&P Sub in the background. They don't really tie up their locos. It's a power cord for a heater in the cab I think.

Going in the hole again for another westbound empty coal train
Title:  Going in the hole again for another westbound empty coal train
Description:  BB 7 waited out the next train for 2 hours. That's insane, they could've finished their switching and been in Gordonsville before the next train got here. Blocks sure aren't efficent.
