Once upon a time, CSX was a daily weekday appearance.
Can someone identify this location ?
Near the CSX Chatham station, October 31, 1991 Kodachrome by S.Danko
Chessie GP38's, with 2021 and B&O 2008 in this pic, were upgraded from GP38's & GP 38-2's to CSX GP38-3's:between 2014 and 2018
What's Interesting - per Jerry Doyle's 1999 Chessie System locomotive book:
The Chessie System livery had a brief 14 year lifespan: September 1972 to 1986.
CSX Corporation formed November 1, 1980 as a holdco for Chessie System & The Family Lines (latter to Seaboard System Jan 1, 1983 (from SCL & L&N)).
The CSX livery unveiled 1986 and formal mergers: WM into C&O May 1, 1983; B&O into C&O April 30, 1986 ; C&O into CSX July 1, 1986.

Northbound at Colborne Street
Chessie was my favourite livery! Thanks for the memories and Happy Christmas!
Definitely Colborne St., heading northbound by the old station and the CP interchange.
What’s sad…..this is all overgrowth now. No trains on this portion (between CN interchange north…all the way to well, somewhere south of Sarnia). Station demolished. Still some bricks remain from the old platform. But the memories and photos live on.
Thanks for sharing as I currently live in Chatham now…nice to see these old photos and the history preserved in them.
