Mud Tunnel

Here are two shots taken at Mud Tunnel on the Chesapeake & Ohio. This spot is just west of Covington, Virginia. We first see a westbound freight and then the eastbound Amtrak James Whitcomb Riley powered by a General Electric P30CH.

Update: someone on FB tells me this locomotive was destroyed later in 1977 when it struck a logging truck near Florence, SC.

Two images by Richard Koenig; taken March 23rd 1977.

As we all know, the Chessie streamliner sadly never entered service for numerous reasons. But in our imaginations, we can depict about what it would be like for if the train did end up entering revenue service. Here along the New River Gorge somewhere between Prince and Hinton, West Virginia, a Chesapeake & Ohio M-1 thunders along the Hinton Division while leading the Eastbound Chessie to Washington D.C. on a peaceful Summer afternoon.

Models and Route by: Roloz Trainz, K&L Trainz, Auran, and Download Station.

Cottage Grove, Indiana

This is a transfer move the Chessie Steam Special made back in the late 1970s. Cottage Grove is where the B&O and C&O cross; the train is taking the connector track from the former to the latter and was headed for Chicago (I believe). The Baltimore & Ohio runs between Cincinnati and Indianapolis while the Chesapeake & Ohio runs between Cincinnati and Chicago—through Peru, Indiana.

One image by Richard Koenig; taken June 5th 1978.
