Re: Pre-1982 C&O Photos
I don't think the Manistee-Bay View part of the line could ever have handled a C630! That's why we retired C630 unit when we find out it's large enough to break any weak bridges. We replaced it with EX-Penn Central Nee-New York Central 6131. She's operating with her original NYC paint. We also upgr...

At 34 second in, it looks to be a 1981/82 Chevrolet Caprice. at 44 seconds, I can make out the squarebody, but it has the circle headlights which was last used in 7...

Pre-1982 C&O Photos
I really know that C&O Line from Manistee - Traverse City - Petoskey has been stopped using in February 20th 1982. It was unknown when those tracks been pulled up between mid or late 1982 or early 1983. Today, Old C&O Line Portions was operated by Great Lake Central. While Portion in Grawn is overgr...

Re: Chessie System meets Norfolk Southern Pictures?
Perhaps he's thinking of some pic or other from Romulus; there's a CSX/Norfolk Southern diamond there. Back in the day, they were Chessie and N&W.
