to come to think of it, I think THAT might have been the old B&O unit I saw in march 1995.

 

hmm I think I piloted that engine before. in the late 80's. Hmmmm.

 

Hi Tim,
Welcome Aboard! I hope you are enjoying TrainBoard. The picture is of an old GP38 that has undoubtedly seen a few miles...

I bet you have some good B&O stories to share with us! What was your favorite B&O loco?

Harold

 

Thanks, Chessie. Great photo

 

Here's another offering to the Capitol Dome gods

thanks Harold, I liked running the B&O GP38's best they were really nice for just about anything. too bad they're gone. I had #2121 (CSXT #) for a few times, it had a feel like no other. it's my favorite.

 

Since #2121 is your favorite, I dug up a photo of it (courtesy the CSX photo archives site):

But actually they may be around.... recycled! A lot of old GP38's went to M-K and became fodder for the GP38-3 rebuild program.

Grand Trunk has a whole mess of them left . Basically just used in yard service .

 

Alan,
Yes, you are correst.... those were the "austere years" where the locos were painted as simply (read:cheaply) as possible.
However, things changed drastically with the Chessie era.

Hey guys,
The B&O for instance what does "B&O" stand for???? Besides "Baltimore And Ohio" ? I'm going to leave it at that and let you all in suspence I got another meaning for the initials of "B&O"!!!! Alot of the B&O fans out their will like it i'm sure...........
