Simon, the Huntington shops used to be a C&O facility. One thing that kept the Huntington shops from being closed was the massive crane inside. A friend of ours, who has now passed away, worked on steam engines there. He started in Hinton, WV. and was transferred to Huntington. When he started working there it was a C&O facility. Next it became a Chessie System facility (early 1970s), and by the time Harry retired, it was a CSX shop. I have a few friends who still work at the Huntington shops. One was transferred down from the old B&O shops in Cumberland, Maryland. Two of our friends have been transferred to Jacksonville, Florida. CSX has this high-tech round control room in Jacksonville that keeps track of all the traffic on CSX 's rails.
