CO0663

            We are in Richmond, VA on March 9, 1991, looking through the Norfolk Southern bascule bridge on their line to West Point. Running westbound on the former C&O James River Viaduct is eastbound CSX manifest R300 with two C40-8's.  Confused?  Q300 came eastbound into Fulton Yard on the former C&O.  Once at Fulton, the power ran around the train and headed back west to Rivanna Junction and the former C&O Piedmont SD, then ran a short distance to AM Junction where it headed north on the former Seaboard to South AY interlocking on the RF&P.  There it turned south on the former ACL enroute to Portsmouth, it's final destination.  Add to that, helpers are required between Fulton and South AY interlocking. This move is still performed several times a day with everything from manifests to unit coal and grain trains. As information, R300 was a Chicago-Portsmouth manifest that carried parts for the Ford assembly plant at Norfolk.  It was amazing at how fast all this could be done when it had to be.
