Chessie System, Inc. was a holding company that

owned the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway (C&O), the

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O), the Western

Maryland Railway (WM), and several smaller

carriers. It was incorporated in Virginia on February

26, 1973, and it acquired the C&O (which controlled

the other companies) on June 15. C&O had been

popularly known as the "Chessie System" since the

1930's. One of the most endearing of railroad

signs!
