| Built
in September 1976 by Pullman Standard, this Chessie System gondola
with Barber Roller Bearing trucks was placed into general service.
Chessie System was formed through the 1972 mergers of Chesapeake
& Ohio, Baltimore & Ohio, and Western Maryland. It remained
one of the largest East coast railroads until 1986 when Seaboard
System merged with Chessie to form today’s rail giant, CSX Transportation. |
