- With "CHESSIE SYSTEM, The Final Days Part I" being a success, here is a PART II. There will be a PART III if this one is a success.
CSXT is a reality in 1988, and power from all the joined railroads is showing up everywhere. This clip, Part II, is nothing but pure Chessie painted locomotives. Some already have been patched with small CSXT decals on the cab.
Here is the link to the successful PART 1

I wasn't born or thought of in 89, but I sure would have love to have been around for this. I didn't get to see the end of Chessie but least I can say I saw the end of Conrail. Railroading will never be like it once was so long ago...
Nice video. Thank you for sharing.
Great time to watch railroading at its best Nick. There will be some older Conrail stuff coming soon. Thanks for watching...
I saw the Chessie System trains up close in West Virginia, so exciting to see when we were kids.
I will not shed a tear for CR. Come to ohio and indiana and see first hand what became of the EL west end.
even ATSF was interested in buying it, but CR did not want the competition.
the number of torn up lines in ohio and indiana is AMAZING.
the first trains i photoed were penn central. so i saw CR from the very beginning.
as for chessie, ,,,,, at least chessie was more colorful than the blotched out PC/RDG/LV/EL/CNJ locos.
the big problem i have with chessie is that they scrapped all but 1 of the WM F units.
WM babied the F units, they were in great shape.(for F units)
btw, i photoed the 7163 and 7173 on their last freight run(coal)to baltimore in preparations for their assignment on the NRHS national convention (1979)in baltimore. video here is a couple days after i photoed them.

railfanning today sucks,,,plain and simple.
I know a guy who is 86 years old. when I was photoing in 1976, he had already mostly quit railfanning/photoing trains.
why you ask?
because the chessie system had retired the last of the B&O F units the year before.
today there is so little variety.
If you want a heads up,,,,
photo as much CSX as you can.
CSX is in terminal decline.
CSX employee morale is in the toilet.
that which can not survive, will not.
I always have my slides of trains from a long time ago.
Nick T. I got to see the end of Conrail to.Loved the video to.
1989, in the area I lived was so depressing. By that time, CSX had removed the tracks of the former B&O St. Louis-Balitmore main.
After hearing that first horn,you just gotta push like!
I wasn’t born until 2007 but I like checking out old videos of railroads before the 2000’s like this one.
Lots of stuff to see csxtf. Enjoy, and thanks for watching.
I grew up watching early CSX as kid in the 80s and remember a number of Chessie units leading trains through Danville IL on the C&EI so this brings back some fond memories as lived with eye site of the rails.
Glad this stired some old memories grey. Sure do miss these days. Thanks for watching...
awesome video and catches. i remember the C.S. when i was a kid. i was 5 and 6 years old when they came.
Thanks Phillip. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching...
Still waiting on that part III! Man, I was born too late for stuff. I’d do anything to go back. The days were the engines sounded cool, railroads, even the class I’s, still had character, and no money was being wasted on PTC
Hopefully get some more stuff up over the winter Wurl153. Miss the good ole days. Thanks for watching...
I saw a grain train headed by three Chessie units in Lawrenceville, GA in the late 90's. Wish I would have got a picture of them because I've never seen one since. Also saw a pair of Wisconsin Central leaders in the same place around that time. Before cell phone cameras so....
I love Chessie System and I love the SD-40. These vids are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I do as well, and miss them big time. Thanks for watching...
Amazing video, Jack! Nothing like old clips from the days where it was all Chessie up there!
Thanks CBelt. Glad you enjoyed it, and glad I caught the tail end of all that good stuff. Thanks for watching...
Pretty striking sight to see that empty coal train threading that switch at the end.
My favorite paint scheme. Thanks for posting!
No doubt about it! One of the best scemes. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching...
Thanks for sharing. I never got to see the end of Chessie and I only got to see the very end of Conrail
It was nice seeing a caboose on the tail end of that train. Miss the days when Chessie was every place
JP writing this...
My father grew up a block away from the c&o shop in Huntington WV during the late C&O days and chessie. It would have been awesome if he taken pictures let alone film. He just didn’t think about it, way it goes.
But as I was born in 2004, I never got to see a whole lot. I wish I could have seen the good old days...
... not that there’s anything wrong with Norfolk southern ;)
I'm glad you were such a prodigious videographer during the Chessie era. I grew up along the West End during the Chessie days, plus I'm modeling it. Please publish part III and keep them coming!
There will be more than likely a part III in the next week or two Scott. After that, It will be Chessie mixed with everything under the sun. Thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed it.
The good old days.
Excellent post 👍👍👍
Thanks ToP. It was the gold ole days. Thanks for watching...
I was born in '93. I've only seen ONE Chessie system painted Loco in person, ever. It was in murfreesboro ,TN on CSX.
I sure do miss the Chessie. They were really sharp. Thanks for watching...
Love the RS3L's!
Nice to see back in those days the rolling stock wasn't tagged neither was the road power compared to today rail operations!
Beautiful Chessie EMD's and a Chessie caboose to end the video. Taking me back to my childhood. Great video !👍🇺🇸
Love em i was born in 89 so i would have never seen these but still love em
Thank you for sharing these!
Very enjoyable.
Only to glad to share these. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching...
I see the ols style auto-racks on these trains, the open roof cars.
Yah, earlier on they had open sides as well. I do have some videos in my collection that show them in train service back in the late 70's early 80's. Thanks for watching.
I'm Chessie Fan all the way Jack!! Awesome video!!
Thanks Jeff, and thanks for watching...
Your welcome!!
I still enjoy watching your your videos Jack. Excellent as usual.
Thanks. I do my best! LOL
Chessie System had lots of GP40's and GP40-2's. These were 3000hp, 4-axle units. Also see a few SD50's in parts one and two.
It's pretty hard to beat a Pennsylvania background when filming a train. Excellent video, as usual.
Thanks Crush, the scenery is pretty nice here in western PA. Thanks for watching..
More Chessie System videos PLEASE!!!
HEAR HEAR !!!
0:20 LOVELY CLASSIC K5LA!!
Nice video! Absolutely love the classic Chessie EMD lash ups!
Wish I was around for these days. Looking forward for part III!
Great time to be watching trains W153. Thanks for watching...
Another good peice of railroad history as always :)
Thank you RP2000. There will be more coming as time permits. Thanks for watching...
jackmp294.5™ I will
It be awesome to see a newer locomotive like a GE or any other used today painted in chessie 😎
Amazing that the sleeping kiitty wasn't awoke by all the noise ;)
Thanks for posting.
LOL. Must have been a pretty tired Cat! Thanks for watching.
Epic video brother! Keep them coming!
Thank you brother. Little by little, I keep chipping away at it. LOL
Great video
Hello, Jack. I am a railway enthusiast from China. I like your video very much. So I want to ask your permission to put it on my bilibilibili homepage for more Chinese railway enthusiasts to watch. I won't reprint your wonderful video until I get your consent. If you don't agree, please let me know. My English is not very good, maybe some words are not very appropriate. Thank you for your understanding.
awesome video thanks for sharing! So even 8 years after the creation of CSXT there was still Chessie paint, thats great information. Where was the inter-change for Chessie with Conrail was it actually in Philadelphia? And did that continue into the till the end of Conrail?
Thanks CJC. Glad you enjoyed. The Chessie paint did hang in there a good while. I think the interchange lasted right to the very end. Thanks for watching...
LONG LIVE CHESSIE!
To be sure Ewee E. I miss the Chessie. Thanks for watching...
Nice stuff, Jack. Would love to see B&O EM-1's pulling Sandpatch.
That would be great. I can only imagine the sound.
They had the best looking trains... And so did the SOO
Yes they did John. I miss the Chessie, and only wish I had a bunch of SOO. Only have a handful of that. Thanks for watching.
Is it a cat? No, it's a train! And it purrs! (And it's not a Clatterpillar either!)
Nice trains.
last clip is kinda a sad end to the Chessie...
That it is Kleetus.
May I be able to use some of your fantastic footage for my school project, about trains in the 1980s and 90's?
Where all of these videos taken on the sand patch grade?
They were mostly taken on the ex-B&O Keystone sub, and a few were on the Philly line.
I was lucky enough to of had one engine, the cat in my city back in the day
Hi Mr. Kuiphoff! May I please use your videos if I credit you, kind sir.
I have no problem with that, as long as credit is given. Thanks for asking.
Jack where have you been? Good video anyway!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I have been doing good. Busy working on my 1985 Mack Superliner, and going to truck shows. Should do some video editing and posting in the winter months. So keep an eye out, and thanks for watching...
can i use this and some other footage as a tribute to chessie? will give full credit!
At the four minutes mark, is it in dynamic?
what undignified cretin would give any of these videos a thumbs down? i have very fond memories of the chessie in south central ohio.
I know what your saying! LOL. I guess you just can't please everyone. They should be thrilled that this old stuff is even preserved for everyone to see and enjoy. Thanks for watching.
Great that these videos exist. Too bad the resolution isnt all that good. The guy running the camera did not know how and when to use the camera zoom. Many screens showed too much background, and the subject matter was too far away for too long. When the locos came close, the camera followed the lead loco. Oh boo! Follow the last loco down the track. At times watching this guy's Chessie videos was annoying knowing that they could have been much better.
I was in 2002
Jack, are you still hosting a webcam for VirtualRailfan?
Yah. I am hosting a camera here at the Hog Pen, but it is for Railstream LLC. They run a free preview of different cameras on TH-cam eavh week, and we just came off a preview a few weeks back. We sould be back on in maybe a few more weeks.
Ah... mixed up my vendors! Sorry! Thanks for the reply!
No problem.
