Chessie System remains a favorite of railroad enthusiasts everywhere. Chessie System connected the Eastern Seaboard with Appalachia, the Ohio River, the Great Lakes and the Midwest. Chessie System was known for its brightly painted yellow, orange and blue locomotives.
When I did train shows many years ago, time and time again, fans of all ages would point to the Chessie engines and say, "I want the train with the kitten on it." Chessie System was comprised of railroads that many of us are familiar with, the Baltimore & Ohio, the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Western Maryland.
Chessie System is today part of CSX Transportation. Chessie lives in many of our hearts. Whenever I see an old box car or caboose with the Chessie kitten, I truly remember this great railroad that moved us all as it it moved our freight.
