After World War II concluded, the Chesapeake & Ohio's charismatic chairman,
Robert R. Young, embarked on an ambitious plan to overhaul its passenger service
and invested heavily in new and sometimes exotic equipment. His plans didn't pan

of this service and its decline through the color images as detailed by
passenger train authority Geoffrey Doughty.
