This page includes pictures from the Chesapeake & Ohio and Baltimore & Ohio which, with some other subsidiary railroads, merged into what today is CSX Transportation. You'll find here shots of C&O and B&O and affiliated lines'  power, as well as several paint schemes tried by CSX before it settled on the current one.
