Title:
C&O 500, steam-turbine-electric
Description:
This photo was a gift to me, given many years ago. Original photographer and other data unknown. The notes on the back say that the photo was taken in "March 1948" (I guessed at a date--this was several years before I was born! My parents were still in high school at this time!) at Clifton Forge, VA "on the mainline". I don't know if C&O gave these three engines (500-502, Baldwin 1947) any names but "Jawn Henry" was a completely different steam turbine built for Norfolk and Western.

B&O 3752
Description:
B&O 3752 was in the former C&O yards in Huntington, WV in summer 1978 (exact date uncertain). Note the white flags, indicating this is an "extra" train. This is probably former B&O train 104, heading east (geographially north) to Parkersburg and on to Wheeling, WV. This is one of the first train photos I ever took.

Description:
C&O 2300 led a westbound freight into the former C&O yards at Huntington, WV sometime in June or July 1978. I don't remember the exact date. This is one of the first train pictures I ever took, using a Kodak 126 "Brownie" camera. Note the EMD trucks, the bell behind the cab, and the three forward facing air horns.

C&O 5701 was in the former C&O yards at Huntington, WV, on an unknown date in 1979 or 1980. Like several early C&O GP7's, this one has the lowered headlights and unusual spark arrestors. 5701 is working a cut of cars, pushing west in the yards near the former DK Cabin.

Description:
C&O 2311 is one of several units leading an eastbound freight past the (former?) Amtrak station, called "Tri-State Station", at Catlettsburg, KY in March 1979; exact date uncertain. Note the brake wheel is on the engineer's side of the short hood; most GE's seemed to have the brake wheels on the brakeman's/conductor's side.

N&W 2570, looking east
Description:
N&W RS-11 was the last one of a multi-unit set on a westbound N&W freight in Ironton, OH. I was on the south side of the tracks, looking north, as this train went by. There were at least 2-3 other EMD units ahead of this Alco. I used a 110-series camera (remember those?) for this photo--didn't have a SLR camera in those days--hence. some of the graininess. At least we have the photo. Date is uncertain. BTW, I used a new Epson scanner with an automatic "color correction" feature, as the original print had faded badly over the years. Notice the extended window on the cab.

N&W 2570, looking west
Description:
N&W RS-11 2570, ex-NKP 570, was the trailing unit on a westbound freight in Ironton, OH in March 1979. Date is uncertain. Note the Roman-style "N&W" lettering, in gold or yellow, on the hood; and the extended windows on the cab. This was one of the few Alco's I ever saw in action. Further, note the relatively clean exhaust--no turbo lag here! BTW, I took this picture using a 110-series camera (remember those?) and used my new Epson scanner's "color correction" feature, as the original print had faded badly over the years. At any rate, we still have the photo and memories even though 2570 may be long gone by now.

C&O 3880
Description:
C&O 3880 was in the former C&O yards at Handley, WV, on an unknown date in spring 1979. It was a warm day: notice the open cab windows and the broom keeping the door propped open! The engine is heading west in order to couple onto some cars. A detail not often modeled is the dent or "crease" in the short hood.

C&O 2300, brakeman's side view
Description:
C&O 2300 was at the C&O yards and division point at Handley, WV in the summer of 1979. Date is frankly a guess, but it was before the U25B's were stricken from the roster--you can't tell it from this cropped photo, but 2300 was coupled to a U25B. Note that it's still in the blue C&O scheme while sister unit 2301, coupled to the short hood, is wearing Chessie System garb.

Note the rugged West Virginia hill in the background, actually across the Kanawha River. Apologies for the poor quality as this is an old print.

Description:
This photo shows the fans, handrails, light, and other details of C&O 3020, a GP30 parked in the former C&O yards in Huntington, WV. Something seldom modeled is the "clean" spots on the dirty, grimy ends from train crew climbing up the grab irons, perhaps to add sand (note the "hatch" or lid for the sand container above the double-lights). Date is approximate but I took this photo the same day as the other photo of 3020.

Description:
C&O 4067 was in the former C&O yards at Huntington, WV, on an unknown day in early 1980. One of the trainmen is ready to board at the front steps, while another crosses over the "gangplank" between units (left edge of photo). Note the recent fuel spill on the tank and the various forms of weathering: the "shoulder scuffs" near the "C&O"; the greasy marks around the bottom of several doors; and the overall grime nearly obscuring the number on the cab.

Title:
B&O 6610, long hood view
Description:
B&O 6610 has the "B&O" emblem at both ends. Note the weathering, grime, etc., under the louvres and other places. This engine was in the ex-C&O yards at Huntington, WV but I don't remember the date (it was some time before 10/80). This unit was coupled to Chessie System #4280 at the time.

The Ohio River Company #21, side view
Description:
Ohio River Co #21 is an Alco-GE RS-1. It was apparently a parts source by the time I got this photo in September 1980. This unit was eventually scrapped, according to a family friend who used to work for that company.

The Ohio River Company #21, short hood view
Description:
The Ohio River Co #21 was set up to run long hood forward. This was true of many RS-1's, as I recall. This view shows the "tiger stripes (?)" of yellow or gold on a beautiful dark green background, rather like Rutland or Vermont Ry power. Notice the funnel on the short hood walkway.

The Ohio River Company #21, cab and short hood view
Description:
#21 had the Ohio River Company logo applied to the cab and apparently not much else in the way of lettering. The two circles remind me somewhat of Lehigh and New England's "fried egg" logo.

The Ohio River Company #21, close-up of cab
Description:
The sun made a terrible glare on all these photos but I grabbed what I could! The Alco-GE builder's plate was still on the cab but I never got the number. This unit was scrapped sometime around 1984, according to a family friend. RIP, #21; "warrior, rest: thy task is done."

KCCX 762, electric locomotive
Description:
KCCX 762, working for Kennecott Copper, was the only electric locomotive I've ever seen. It's working upgrade with a cut of ore cars, literally in the middle of a mountain. I lost count of how many trains, electric- and diesel-powered, were running when I saw this operation. Date is uncertain, but it's probably the summer of 1980 or 1983.
