Chessie System, Inc. was a holding company, incorporated in 1973, that owned the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O), the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O), and the Western Maryland Railway (WM). In 1980, Chessie System merged with Seaboard Coast Line Industries to form CSX Corporation. However, the Chessie image continued to be applied to new and re-painted equipment until 1986, when CSX introduced its own paint scheme. Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, sources of revenue for the Chessie System was transportation of West Virginia coal, indigenous limestone products, and auto parts/vehicles. The signature symbol for Chessie System was it's "Ches-C", a large emblem incorporating the outline of the C&O's famous "Chessie" the kitten logo. While all three companies shared a common paint scheme of yellow, vermillion, and blue, actual ownership of the equipment was denoted by the reporting marks: C&O, B&O, or WM.
