Lucky catch |
| Description: |
I was crossing the B&O on SR 618 near Leipsic, when I looked up to see a headlight. It was this guy on the B&O Toledo-Cincy main rolling south with a whopping 176 cars. |

There were still a few of these units riding around in the mid 80s, even as Chessie was about to disappear into the Bright Future of CSX. This one is trailing on a B&O train passing Conrails Anacostia tower in DC. . |

Orange Blossom Special |
| Description: |
Seaboard, RF&P and Chessie revived an old passenger train name to boost a pair of intermodal trains between Jersey and Florida. It was easy to spot, as it had RF&P power leading north of Richmond, due to the cab signalling unique to them. The power often ran through to Jersey, as on this days edition, seen at Anacostia in DC. Check out the Conrail IH maintenance truck at left. |
