Chessie System, Inc. was a holding company that
owned the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway (C&O), the Baltimore & 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. C&O had been popularly known as the “Chessie
System” since the 1930’s. One of the most endearing of railroad signs!
