RF&P

Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac E Units

RF&P carried Both Seaboard and Atlantic Coast Line’s Florida Trains between Washington DC and Richmond Virginia. In 1949 RF&P received their first passenger diesel units from EMD, 15 E8A’s and 5 E8B’s. It was quite common to see these units in Jacksonville, and points south pooled with other units. In 1965, 2 of the E8B’s, ex RF&P 1052 & 1053 would become ACL 765-B & 766-B, then SCL 670-B & 671-B. Both units were retired in 1972.
