This is a reference to LV C628s, and follow up on Chuck Yungkurth's post.

Based upon my reference materials, the Valley C628s were restricted from 
service west of Sayre, due to excessive wear on track.  Seeing them at Oak 
Island is, of course, consistant with that restriction.  All the Valley's 
significant grades were on the east end.
