dehusman John-NYBW I'd see locos and coal hoppers still lettered for B&O, C&O, and Western Maryland. I don't recall any from the Virginian but I may have seen those too. Since the Virginian was merged into the N&W in 1959, it would be rare to see a VGN hopper on the N&W in the 1970's and even rarer to see one on the Chessie System.

My mistake. For some reason I was thinking the Virginian was part of the Chessie merger.
