Chessie did have a steam locomotive but for excoursion purposes only I think it reading T1 2101 before it got in a barn fire now It is at the B&O railroad muesam in it's AFT pait and the M1 turbine was for a train called the Chessie not the railroad in the 60's and 70's but yeah I have to admit those were te finest looking turbines I have seen but hey did have a few problems. also I think cloaked ghost was working on one when I was looking around on his website I saw what looked like a C&O turbine that was in the works in one of the backrounds

You have to admit that the C&O steam tubine is super cool though
I wonder how much it would cost to commission this locomotive?
Talk to Mike (Leeferr), he is the master of streamliners...

Now that's cool. I just might have to consider building one.

I must admit that I was being a smart ----- well you get the idea. Any way here's some more info on the one steam locomotive that Chessie did operate.
Quote from Wikipedia"The Chessie System operated and exhibited a former Reading Railroad 4-8-4 steam locomotive (#2101) on a national tour as the "Chessie Steam Special," beginning in 1977 in celebration of the B&O's 150th anniversary. The 4-8-4 had previously been used as one of three locomotives pulling the American Freedom Train. The train was painted in the Chessie System motif and consisted of the locomotive, two tenders, and eighteen to twenty passenger and baggage cars. The locomotive was severely damaged in a fire in March, 1979 while stored in a Chessie System roundhouse. It has since been cosmetically restored, and is on display at the B&O Railroad Museum, in Baltimore, MD."

Yeah which is Chessie System.
Chessie System, Inc. was a holding company that owned the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O), the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O), the Western Maryland Railway (WM), and several smaller carriers. It was incorporated in Virginia on February 26, 1973, and it acquired the C&O (which controlled the other companies) on June 15. On November 1, 1980, Chessie System merged with Seaboard Coast Line Industries to form CSX Corporation. However, the Chessie image continued to be applied to new and re-painted equipment until mid-1986, when CSX introduced its own paint scheme. The B&O and C&O were not legally merged out of existence until 1987, when the company's official successor, CSX Transportation was founded.--
Really!? We should talk.
Don't get your hopes up too quickly. It may be awhile before I have time to tackle the task.
