A westbound CSX coal train rolls past the old Beaver Dam, Virginia depot on the Buckingham Branch Railroad. While the Buckingham Branch is the operator of the line, CSX westbounds are operated by CSX crews. Eastbound moves are typically handled via the CSX along the James River which creates directional running throughout Virginia.

An eastbound empty coal passes the old depot at Mineral, Virginia. The sound of wheels rolling along over jointed rail is quite nice.
