RFP0708

            Southbound Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac intermodal train No. 171 (Kearney, NJ-Florida Points) hammers across the C&O at Doswell, VA on Jan. 31, 1987 with GP40-2 No. 147, SBD GP40 No. 6351, SBD BQ23-7 No. 5131,  B&O GP40-2 No. 4413 and GP35 No. 136.   Note the filthy snow south of the diamond, jarred off of southbound trains.  Also, I might point out the two diamonds setting in the snow off to the left.  Wisely, whenever RF&P replaced the diamonds, they always kept the old ones off to the side in case of a catastrophic failure of the newer ones.  The old ones would do in a pinch.
