C&O used Chessie and Peake as part of their advertising and public image for decades.
one of the few advertising mascots that actually got presents and cards from fans.
Just one more reason to like the Chessie… I miss seeing their colorful locomotives up here. Up until about 1990 Chessie GP30s and GP35s were a common sight on power short CP… Who says a cat and a beaver can’t work together…
Anybody can work with a cat. Just as long as you know who is boss! And it ain’t you!
I have been bossed around by one or more cats for decades. I would not have it any other way.
And one thing cats are really good at is relaxing. I find it relaxing just to watch a cat relaxing.
