  • Why the clickety-clack sound of each car and locomotive? Aren't they riding on continuous weld rail?

  • Probably an unwelded joint at the Germantown location.

  • what happen to good old chessie did they go bankrupt or merge with csx?

  • Chessie merged with Seaboard System to become CSX.

  • Were ALL EIGHT locomotives in this video powered up or were some of them just being pulled to a new location?

  • I think that only a few of them were running. It was a power balancing thing.

  • @fhqwgads2 My bad. I just checked it out on Wiki - I must've been thinking of her kittens, "Nip" and "Tuck".

  • @fhqwgads2 I was in Baltimore's B&O Museum in the early 1980s. They had a display of Chessie calendars from WWII where they mention Chessie dragging boyfriend Peake into the war effort!! Chessie's a war cat!

  • @bullfrog1954 I thought they were siblings...

  • was that first train looooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg­ggggggggg you must of got sleepy

  • Man, do I ever miss that cat!! And don't forget her boyfriend Peake!!

  • This video is incredible for so many reasons. I miss Chessie and Piki! These were golden days of railroading.. horns, locomotives, paint schemes and bells.

  • Also, at the second shot, does that WM unit have a Leslie RS5T?

  • Cool video. Man, just look at all the fallen flags road names on those freight cars; Chessie System, L&N, Illinois Central, Penn Central, Conrail, Western Pacific, SCL, Frisco, man, they're all there.

  • I remember seeing the Chessie quite often in Garrett, Ind back in the day..

  • i like the 2 different painted western maryland SD40s great catch thank you for sharing!
