The RF&P’s long history dates back to the early-mid 1800’s where it originally ran from Richmond to the Potomac River via Fredericksburg in Virginia.
When they started to dieselize in 1940, they purchased a few Alco switchers. By the 1950’s, RF&P’s diesel roster was primarily EMD. Liking the
performance of the EMD GP35 and GP40, they purchased seven GP40-2’s in 1972. After being absorbed into the CSX system in 1991, the GP40-2’s were
patched, then repainted into the then-new CSX corporate colors. An oddity for CSX, these units stand out as being part of the few non-dynamic road units
on their roster.
