Description Home movie taken at Richmond, Va. Great shot of RF&P steam locomotive #620. A huge 4-8-4, with the beautiful Baldwin Disk drivers. Then there is a EMD E-7 A&B lash-up running by. Then last but not lease, the Richmond Terminal Alco switcher #1, looking idle. Hope you enjoy!!!

My Great Uncle, Gordon Kuper, was an Engineer on the RF&P. He ran the last Steam Engine and the Last pre-Amtrak passenger train.

Great video but no one has mentioned that N&W loco several tracks on one of the shuttle trains to Petersburg.

Sharon Evans Is it an E class? I didn't realize N&W power went north of Petersburg.

N&W supplied the power and equipment for the shuttle train and ACL provided the crews. Was the last steam assignment for them. They operated as ACL trains since most of their run was on the ACL. As far as to type, not sure if an M or E.

Well, I'll be darned! Thanks for explaining.

Well, they went even farther than Richmond, not including the Cincinnati and Columbus lines and anything leading to it. They had a line stretch to Hagerstown, Maryland. Also the locomotive is an N&W E2.

Bruce: A very interesting video. Only one correction to the introductory text, above: It should read "...last but not LEAST...".

So True, Thanks, Bruce I've not been the best with English.

Are any of the R.F & P 4-8-4 preserved or not ?

Sadly No. But, there has to be a Kickstarter to make a steam locomotive campaign called “The RF&P 4-8-4 Trust” to build a full size replica of RF&P #612 “Governor Claude A. Swanson” so it can run excursions between D.C., Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina.
