We are on the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR in Fredericksburg, VA Oct. 26, 1974. The Acca Local has arrived to leave fresh GP40 No. 126 for the Fredericksburg yard job. The local crew will be taking GP35 No. 138 back to Richmond. The Acca Local, officially known as the Acca-Dahlgren Junction Turnaround Local No. 3, was a Monday thru Saturday job. During the week, it seldom made it to Fredericksburg, usually turning back south at Milford. On Saturday, it ran to Fredericksburg to make the power swap and pick up any Acca cars. Note that GP35 No. 138 is backwards. The yard job always wanted a unit pointed south and would turn an even numbered unit on the wye. When the Acca Local got back to Acca, you can assure yourself that No. 138 took a spin on Acca wye to get it properly pointed.
