CO 0-8-0 #345 - Chesapeake & Ohio |
| Description: |
This Alco-Cooke 0-8-0 yard switcher was built in 1923 as Pere Marquette #1315, class C-13. No date was given and the location by R.D. Patton was listed as Ganley's Ridge, WV. I cannot find that location anywhere. Can anyone help with this one? Jonathan Spurlock has found Handley, WV, as having several of the landmarks in a couple of photos that were marked as Ganley's Ridge, so will use that location until someone knows exactly where Ganley's Ridge is. |

C&O 3303 |
| Description: |
Nothing looked nicer than the clean Chessie livery on a fast freight but, unfortunately, the units that worked the coal trains on Appalachia were seldom clean as this GE U33C in Handley, WV, on April 10, 1978, illustrates. |

C&O 8137 |
| Description: |
A GE U25B in storage in Handley, WV, on April 10, 1978. Every so often Id come to a place where railroad history unfolded right in front of me. Handley was not far from the major locomotive shops and locos were just left in storage there. The U25B had been the start of the major improvement in horsepower in the early 1960s and less than two decades later sat this battered and unloved example likely never to be used again. |

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. |

| Description: |
C&O 2321 was at the former C&O yards at Handley, WV. Date is uncertain. Unit was coupled to a U25D to the left and was close to a U30B on the right. Unit rode on EMD "Blomberg" trucks. Note the rugged West Virginia hill in the background, actually across the Kanawha River. Apologies for the poor quality as this is an old print. |

C&O 604054 |
| Description: |
C&O 604054 was parked near the Handley, WV engine facility on a summer day in perhaps 1979 (exact date uncertain). Note the roller-bearing trucks, gray paint with black lettering, and the word "SAND" near the bottom of the center panel. That's the old coaling tower in the background, still standing a quarter-century after steam's last stand on C&O. |

Ex-C&O yard, photo 1 |
| Description: |
Handley, WV was once a bustling facility for the former C&O. In steam days, there was a coaling tower (still standing), water tower, roundhouse and other maintenance facilities. Several tracks had been removed by August 1987 (date uncertain); some of these led to the diesel fueling racks. The tower (cabin, on C&O) had a downstairs office and one upstairs. Dad used to work as an "operator" in the downstairs office and he said the yardmaster worked in the upstairs office. This view looks west. West Virginia highway 61 is barely visible to the left. |

Ex C&O yard, photo 2 |
| Description: |
Compare this photo with the other one of the former C&O yard at Handley, WV. Still looking west, I was standing at a more level place this time. Several tracks are visible but IIRC CSX (by this time) was only using a few. Many hoppers are still in the yard, visible in the background. Also note what was left of the diesel fueling racks in front of the former coaling tower. |

Amtrak 176 and 2 other units lead P936, the New River leaf train through Handley, WV. The dust is really flying, as CSX has been replacing ties and ballast like crazy on the New River and Kanawha Subdivisions. It will be like a brand new railroad when they are done with it. The new river train was very impressive, with 10 amfleets and about 20 private cars including 3 domes. |
