Viewing Album:  Buckingham Branch - R&A
 
By:William Grimes
Dates:1/19/2005 - 8/22/2021
Album Info:The Buckingham Branch Railroad (BB) started in 1989 in Buckingham County with 17.3 miles from Dillwyn to Bremo. The Richmond & Alleghany Division became the second division of the Buckingham Branch Railroad in 2004 when the BB leased the track with operating rights from CSXT. The R & A Division encompasses 199.6 miles of track between downtown Richmond, VA and JD Cabin, just east of Clifton Forge, VA. The BB has trackage rights into CSXT’s Clifton Forge yard for interchange purposes. The R & A enables the Buckingham Branch Railroad to provide direct rail and transload freight services from east to west across the Commonwealth of Virginia.
