Well, folks, that's it for now. Perhaps one day, I'll locate a few new locations for my C&O flimsy collection. If so, I'll share them here. Meanwhile, I hope it's been interesting for at least some of you. Boxcab E50
I wonder if that isn't the station at Charlottesville - that used to be where the C&O crossed the Southern if i remeber right...
We'll need to rely on your C&O resources for this one! I sure have no idea. But would be interested in an answer. So I can update my notes. Boxcab E50
My brother-in-law found one pretty close to the swing bridge in Grand Haven - it's HO scale. I won't be adding anything like this - my layout starts in Holland MI and transitions directly to West Virginia - unless I'm running my B&O stuff - then I'm not sure if I'm in Maryland, PA, or West VA!
I can't find any reference to the REA and the Ronceverte station - so I'm guessing that it was just a C&O station - and the picture I posted is the freight station.
The Pere Marquette Railroad had an all streamliner train called The Pere Marquette that started running between Detroit and Grand Rapids, and Grand Rapids and Chicago in 1946. These were 7 car trains pulled by an E7. More specifically the train was made up in this order: E7 engine; mail & baggage car; baggage; coach; coach; diner; coach; coach. In 1948 after The Chessie was cancelled, C&O trnsferred most of that equipment up to Michigan, and it was very common to see a dome/observation car on a typical train. Today Amtrak runs The Pere Marquette between Grand Rapids and Chicago.
