Big Time Railroading seen in this chapter is from our full DVD production at www.cspmovies.com (Mountain Grades of the B&O). See the full description below...
This material was shot in 1983, 1989 and 1991 with a mix of video and color movie-film dating back to 1969. See a colorful mix of power and a style of railroading that is vanished forever. The Mountain Subdivision brings the last Western Maryland units in service. CSX fans will also see the early color schemes. Chessie fans will see lots of "tri-color" power. Additional color comes from several CSX liveries from the 1991-era.
The history of mergers of C&O, B&O, WM and Seaboard Lines up to the CSXT formation is reviewed. Early film presents B&O, C&O and L&N power plus vignettes of Western Maryland and the small WVN Railroads.
See lots of Seaboard and Family Lines power mixed with B&O, Chessie System and CSX colors in big power 'lash-ups' with helpers and meets.
The "Cranberry" grade of the Mountain Subdivision, and the Sand Patch grade of the Keystone Subdivision with its beautiful scenery, small towns and great trains are a special visual experience.

There was nothing like the sound of those old EMD and GE locomotives at notch 8 pulling hard.

Some people hated the Chessie paint scheme. But I’ll take it over the current drab CSX paint scheme any day!

I love the paint scheme but never liked it as a railroad

The C&O bought out the B&O and the Western Maryland to form the Chessie System. Later they merged with the Seaboard System forming CSX.

Always wondered why the caboose is placed behind some helpers and other times, they remain tacked onto the end of the train in front of helper units? I thought maybe the caboose was placed behind the pushers was for safety reasons but here, you see five units pushing on the caboose.
