C&O Amoco Branch - a photo on Flickriver

C&O Amoco Branch

            CSX L21530 glides along the Amoco Branch in Yorktown, VA, approaching the crossing at Richneck Road with ex-L&N GP38-2 2634 on the point, RS5T equipped.

I was shocked to learn the Plains plant at the end of the line was shut down, effectively ending service indefinitely past 84 Lumber. Yorktown coal had already ceased in 2019, and now the already marginalized oil traffic is no more on the Peninsula Sub. When I caught this train, this Yorktown operation was taken for granted; it was a little cherry on top after catching NS V24 in West Point on a spur-of-the-moment decision. Glad I did it. For the foreseeable future anyway, this shot cannot be repeated.
