After visting the National Cat Musuem in Alliance Ohio (Served by Amtrak and NS Fort Wayne line) I am changing my avatar to Chessie the Cat for now…(.I am really a Dog Person as Dog is really Gods name backwards)
Obviously not C&O, but did any other railroads use dogs in their logos or advertising?
I noticed that you’re from Clifton Forge. Are you actually affiliated in any way (volunteer or otherwise) with the C&O Historical Society? I’m somewhat familiar with those folks, having been a founding member and on the first Board of Directors.
I also recognize your avatar as the cover of a book whose author I am very well acquainted with.
[;)]A good thought. With so many trademarks falling by the wayside. This is why I keep my Y6b.That engine was N&Ws finest coming up from Portsmouth Ohio to Columbus and turning east to Tidewater. That was a regular engine on that coal haul coming through Washington Courthouse Ohio.
I help out in CF VA from time to time. I worked in Cleveland OH and when the C&O was headquatered in the Terminal Tower for a few years from the 1970s to the CSX Era in the early 1990s I came across a whole bunch of C&O stationary and plates when they cleaned out there office up in the tower. I have since sold off it to pay for college related expenses. It turns out that most of the Class Ones had headquaters or division offices in the Cleveland Terminal Tower know known as Tower City. Erie,C&O,Nickle Plate, New York Central, US Steel railroads ect.
