They look great, Ron!!  Thank you for the interesting information on the Columbian!!  What a neat thrill to be able to get the models of the first train you rode!!

Mark, yes the trip was great.  Left mom in our coach seat(s) and found the dome.  Mostly in the dark in both directions.

Then a couple years later rode the Shenandoah round trip to D.C.  solo 3 or 4 days as a gift from my school for being captain of the Safety Patrol.  Last week posted my Heavy Weight set replicating that consist.

Yes, I saw the heavyweight set too!  That's great you got to ride it too!

Thanks for the history lesson on The Columbian. What a great looking set and those A and B units look super!

Yes Brian, those look soooo familiar!!  Not just the dark blue Geeps, but the open car carriers as well.  We say a lot of them heading towards Pittsburgh!

                             early Amtrak days...

On October 12, 2014, Chase Gunnoe hosted a photo freight along the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad, in Elkins, WV. Our train travelled along the Shavers Fork of the Cheat River, nestled in the mountains of West Virginia. Two diesels were featured prominently in the photo charter - F7-A C&O-painted #7094, and also Western Maryland BL-2 #82

My C&O train.

Brian, thank you for all the great photographs!  Do you know where that photograph was taken?  One E unit pulling one coach in a place of hilly terrain.  I’m curious.

Yes, Cumberland!  That looks like Cumberland!  1969, yes the paint scheme and automobiles look right.  I was 13 then and we lived along the B&O near Mars Pennsylvania.  The passenger service to Pittsburgh ended by ‘66 I think.  I have my grandmother’s retiree spouse’s pass dated 1966.

3RD Rail FP7's that I just finished fixing some paint, lettering, and detailing issues they had. Still need to close the gap between the two units somehow.

This photo reminds me of when I started with the B&O, for the Toledo Division out of Cincinnati as a fireman in 1965. I think every loco that we had, whether it be a yard engine or a road engine, looked very much like this C&O unit in the photo.
