Re: C&O Local Westbound at Vassar 1981
The blue and yellow paint scheme was the original C&O scheme (with some changes in striping and lettering over the years) and pre-dated the Chessie System era which didn't begin until 1972. Some of the blue/yellow units got the Chessie treatment and some didn't, like the one in the photo. I would bet that this engine did indeed operate to Harbor Beach and possibly Port Hope at some point.
