This CSX train is one of several a day that pass through Charlottesville with empty cars over track operated by the family owned regional Buckingham Branch Railroad. This picture was taken behind the Charlottesville Amtrak station as the train was entering the "diamond" interchange with the Norfolk Southern mainline. Amtrak's Cardinal also operates over this track.
The January 2012 issue of Trains magazine ran a 12 page feature on the Buckingham Branch which operates from Doswell, which is near Richmond, to Clifton Forge.
