Railpictures.ca - Geoff Elliott Photo: Since today is so dull and dreary I thought I’d post something black and white. It’s May 20, 1990 and here is the NS westbound with SD40-2 #3298 running long hood forward as it hits the C&O diamond in Chatham on it’s way from Buffalo to Windsor via St. Thomas. To the left of photo is the C&O Enginehouse and now, almost 25 years later, it, as well as the NS and CSX trains that used to cross here are gone. All in the name of ‘progress’ supposedly….. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Wish I could help Steve. They always seemed to be running up the C&O in the dark and when I did shoot them in the daylight, they were running CP power…. Hahhahahahhaa……..

CP did re-route a few trains over the CSX and CASO when derailments occurred west of Chatham.. the last was winter 2004/2005 give/take – memory getting a bit fuzzy on that. I went down to see them at night but someone stalled in the tunnel… and no one made it to Chatham by the time I left at 0100.
