Re: Pre-1982 C&O Photos

I don't think the Manistee-Bay View part of the line could ever have handled a C630! That's why we retired C630 unit when we find out it's large enough to break any weak bridges. We replaced it with EX-Penn Central Nee-New York Central 6131. She's operating with her original NYC paint. We also upgr...

Re: Chessie System meets Norfolk Southern Pictures?

Perhaps he's thinking of some pic or other from Romulus; there's a CSX/Norfolk Southern diamond there. Back in the day, they were Chessie and N&W.
