Streamlined F-Unit Still Pulling Freight on the West Virginia Central

When diesel locomotives began mass production, nearly every manufacturer built multiple styles, including the sleek lines of the "streamliner", especially suited for passenger service.
Today, very few of these vintage beasts are still earning their keep hauling freight trains...but one of those special places is the West Virginia Central. The freight arm of the Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad, WVC operates along the scenic route serving a number of customers through West Virginia. I was lucky enough to catch a somewhat rare weekend freight run, and I certainly enjoyed the appearance of a Western Maryland F-unit towing freight through the Mountain State!

These shots are incredible. Just when you think there's no F units left in freight service.

❤❤❤❤ I know it's not period correct for the power but that K5 is perfect!The exhaust chug is amazing as well!

Nice to see these old relics. F-units are really rare. The E & LS up in the UP of Michigan still has one all painted up and is currently out of service. They used it in regular freight service up until a couple years ago. Hope they get her fixed soon.

Just rode the Winter Excursion from Elkins to Tygart Junction along the Tygart River on this line. The WM F-Unit on one end and a C&0 F-Unit on the other end. Nice winter excursion.

If big boy steam engines are still around there has to be F units around somewhere because big boy parts are still being made

How often do they run freight on the WVC? Do they run on specific days?

Idea: Bring Back the Streamliner EMD E and F units. Sure, people may say that they are outdated, but if they run, They Run. In the end, They Look cool, and that's all that Truly matters about trains.

Yeah, things like profitability and emissions mean nothing to management. Good call 👍

I think a few times a week, but I’m not sure if there’s any kind of real schedule.
