well i did see one last year, was still Chessie with B&O on it, ohter than one i havn't seen anymore, only really old CSX ones with SBD (seaboard) markings
derailment? what derailment? All reports of derailments are lies. Their are no derailments within a hundreed miles of here.

I would have to say yes there are. I just saw two last week in Toledo. Not sure about B&O or C&O, to far away to see that, but they were riding on TTX flat cars.

I've seen a few in unit MLs running empty to the Ford Plant in Oakville and the GM plant in Oshawa.

Saw a Chessie auto rack (B&O) up in Flat Rock, MI @ CN's yard about a month ago.
