VINTAGE CHESSIE, B&O & WM RAILROADING

Показать описание

This material was shot in 1983, 1989 and 1991 with a mix of video and color movie-film dating back to 1969. See a colorful mix of power and a style of railroading that is vanished forever. The Mountain Subdivision brings the last Western Maryland units in service. CSX fans will also see the early color schemes. Chessie fans will see lots of "tri-color" power. Additional color comes from several CSX liveries from the 1991-era.

The history of mergers of C&O, B&O, WM and Seaboard Lines up to the CSXT formation is reviewed. Early film presents B&O, C&O and L&N power plus vignettes of Western Maryland and the small WVN Railroads.

See lots of Seaboard and Family Lines power mixed with B&O, Chessie System and CSX colors in big power 'lash-ups' with helpers and meets.

This video made me smile! I loved seeing the old-time engines! Chessie was always my favorite as little girl! I loved the kitty caboose!

Great railfanning historical video Charles. This is only a couple of times I've seen footage on The Mountain line. I know what those engines and Engineers go through because I've driven thru WV that way. Steep hills and lots of hairpin turns. Got car sick every time while driving.
