Built in 1948 by EMD, this unit started life working freight trains as Clinchfield Railroad 800. When the CRR became a part of CSX, the unit was assigned to business trains and other excursions before it was retired and donated to the C&O Railway Historical Society of Clifton Forge, VA. Restored to resemble a C&O cab unit of the 1950s, it has been on lease to the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad in West Virginia for the past twenty years where it sees regular excursion service. |
