This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway entered the 20th Century as a small but growing line in the region of Virginia-West Virginia-Kentucky. By the middle of the century it was the world's largest carrier of bituminous coal, a major play in passenger service (though its own fleet was small), and was important in automotive industry transportation. Its stock was blue chip, its cash reserves seemingly limitless, its public relations and advertising the best in the country. It had a reputation as one of the best managed and most profitable lines in the nation.
Download or read book The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway written by James E. Casto and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-10-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1860s, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) pushed its first tracks westward from Virginia's Tidewater region across the mountains into what was then the new state of West Virginia. Ultimately its tracks stretched across a half-dozen states and even into Canada. Appalachian coal was the C&O's primary cargo, but its fast freights carried shipments of all kinds, and its crack passenger trains were marvels of their day. In 1963, the C&O merged with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in the first of what would become a wave of railroad mergers. Today the old C&O is part of giant CSX Transportation. Images of Rail: The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway gathers 200 photographs that chronicle the C&O story. Here is a fond look back at its mammoth steam locomotives and the diesels that replaced them, its bustling passenger stations, and much more, including the legendary John Henry, who beat that steam drill, and Chessie, the sleeping kitten that was the C&O's much-loved trademark.

Download or read book Chesapeake Ohio Lexington Va Branch written by Alfred L. Kresse (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C&O inherited the 21-mile branch from Balcony Falls (Glasgow) to Lexington, Va. when the Richmond & Alleghany Railroad was merged in 1890. The Branch had been build by the R&A when it took over the James River & Kanawha Canal and the North River Navigation properties. The Lexington Branch was one of only a handful of C&O branches that was not dedicated to coal. Its base was agricultural products, general merchandise, and students traveling to and from Washington & Lee University and Virginia Military Institute. It retained its rural character and steadily declined in value to the C&O. It was ultimately abandoned after severe damage by hurricanes and floods. It is however, a good example of a rural line operating amid the changing times of the early to mid-20th century. -- Back cover.
