THE CHESSIE SYSTEM The Chessie System was created in February 1973 to integrate the operations of three notable eastern railroads that had long been closely aligned: the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Baltimore & Ohio, and the Western Maryland Railway. The Chesapeake & Ohio: Among the great railroads of America, few were more successful and influential than the Chesapeake & Ohio. With a route system that reached from Virginia Tidewater through the coal-rich Alleghenies and Appalachians to key Midwestern industrial hubs including Cincinnati, Toledo, and Chicago, the C&O was a great coal hauler, a forwarder of manifest freight, and a classy passenger road operating name trains such as The George Washington. C&O’s acquisition of the Pere Marquette in 1947 further strengthened the already mighty C&O, expanding its route miles to nearly 5,000 and reaching Detroit and Buffalo.
