Beaverdam Local

Today was warm and pleasant, considering how the weather has been lately, so I went for a short drive along the Richmond & Allegheny Division of the Buckingham Branch Railroad.
To my great surprise, I caught a local train working in Beaverdam. I had never seen a local out working this line before, going all the way back to the Chessie System days.
The locomotive pulled up beside the old depot, then backed down to its train.
This is an old EMD GP-18, obviously in very good condition. It was as much fun to listen to the engine rev up as it was to watch the crew do their work.
