Despite its reputation as an Appalachian coal hauler, the Chesapeake & Ohio offered high-profile passenger service linking Norfolk and Washington, D.C. with Cincinnati and Louisville. In addition, C&O cars served Chicago via the New York Central and New York via the Pennsylvania Railroad. This outstanding color history documents C&O passenger cars and trains from 1945 to the emergence of Amtrak in 1970. A large portion of the story revolves around C&O's massive 1950 order of 300 Pullman can, but there is also coverage of The Sportsman service across Ohio to Detroit, and Michigan passenger services inherited from the Pere Marquette Railway, which was merged in 1947. With roster data, interior views, and detailed color imagery of C&O's vibrant yellow, blue, and silver livery, this resource is sure to appeal to C&O modelers and railfans alike.
