In addition to the CSX Hanover Subdivision route, our products include ~ 30 realistic Train Simulator scenario and product packs, each of which is available at the Steam Store and Dovetail Games Store. 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.
