Ross Rowlands car |
| Description: |
The ACE 3000 was Ross Rowlands brainchild. He founded American Coal Enterprises to explore the prospects for a high tech steam engine, for which he got Chessie to let him run a month of test trains with C&O 614. This car was his private car, from which he directed the action. |

Backing in to the shop |
| Description: |
The days work done, 614 and equipment back into the shop area at Huntington to be serviced for tomorrows eastbound trip. The engine will likely get refueled from a truck, ironically in the shadow of the coaling tower it probably took tons of coal from in the past. |

Running full out |
| Description: |
Once 614 got west of Charleston, the race was on, and it ran close to 60 most of the rest of the trip. It was a challenge keeping up. One place I was able to shoot it was off the US 35 oerpass in St Albans. |

Chessie canteen |
| Description: |
There was also this Chessie System Railroads canteen on the train. Getting good water is a challenge now that there are no standpipes or water tanks along railroads, hence the extra water tanks. The fire department was filling the cars here at Montgomery. |
