C&O 2300, partial conductor's side view
Title:  C&O 2300, partial conductor's side view
Description:  C&O 2300 led a westbound freight into the former C&O yards at Huntington, WV sometime in June or July 1978. I don't remember the exact date. This is one of the first train pictures I ever took, using a Kodak 126 "Brownie" camera. Note the EMD trucks, the bell behind the cab, and the three forward facing air horns.

C&O 2300, brakeman's side view
Title:  C&O 2300, brakeman's side view
Description:  C&O 2300 was at the C&O yards and division point at Handley, WV in the summer of 1979. Date is frankly a guess, but it was before the U25B's were stricken from the roster--you can't tell it from this cropped photo, but 2300 was coupled to a U25B. Note that it's still in the blue C&O scheme while sister unit 2301, coupled to the short hood, is wearing Chessie System garb.
