YVRR 202
Title:  YVRR 202
Description:  Seen here in 1990 prior to receiving Yadkin Valley railroad logos. Scanned from original slide. This unit later went to the Mississippi Delta Railroad until it was bounced to the Three Notch railroad where it was probably scrapped on site.

YVRR 202
Title:  YVRR 202
Description:  The Yadkin Valley railroad received red and white geeps in the early 90's. I would assume the ex-N&W GP9's were from NS when this line started, as I don't see the original owners of this shortline being able to afford a large quantity of new ones. Gulf & Ohio assumed control in 1995, and phased out the red and white scheme (although, a few of these in red and white have continued to serve shortlines even today).
