The Iowa Interstate Railroad has a Chessie System GP38-2 sitll in its own paint but the lettering is gone and the sleeping cat is gone too. Still a nice site to see in 2005. <br />I noticed in the 2005 Locomotive roster book that there is a enginge somewhere up in the 8000 series that is labeled as a Seaboard System engine...... <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />BN, don't wish your life away. We only go around once; savor the time you were placed in. If you'd been born in my time you'd be an old gray head grumbling about how screwed up everyone and everything is. (and you'd have wished to have been born in an earlier time when you were young...) <br /> <br />I still have the C&O/B&O News that unveiled the new Chessie image. I remember thinking, "Are they going to actually paint our engines like THAT?" I've seen a lot of ink waxing poetic about the glories of the Chessie System. All I remember is that the B&O's old Capitol Dome logo was on the way out; replaced by the C&O's KITTY! (which, as I pointed out to the Terminal Trainmaster, was in violation of the rules...in a RECLINING position with the eyes CLOSED!) <br /> <br />BTW, I am amazed that a Seaboard System ANYTHING has survived unscathed for nearly three decades. <br /> <br />just sign me, <br />grey-headed grumbling skeets
