Oh boy, you dredged up some memories with that reply. I was stationed at Ft. Eustis Va. in the early 1980's. By the time I got there, the Army's railway operating unit was downgraded to "civilian" status. The trackage was still in place though. While my "MOS" kept me at the harbor most of the time, I was lucky enough to get a few cab rides in the old Baldwins once in a while. One situation stands out in memory, our fuel barge had developed an under the waterline leak, and diesel fuel was leaking out into the James river. We had to transfer about 750,000 gallons of DF-2 into rail tank cars in order to send the barge to dry-dock for repairs. At that time, I rode the old baldwins from 3rd. port across base to the yards by the commisary. Funny thing was, after dry-dock inspection, they found no leak. We later surmised that it must have been a faulty oil/water seperator on the barge. Sure made for some fun railfanning though. <br /> Todd C.
