Chessie System SD40-2 7607, The Railroad With The Cat

Chessie System (Baltimore and Ohio) SD40-2 7607 was the first Chessie System locomotive I drew once I became a railroad artist.  As I started to do train shows in 1992, it was one of my more popular locomotives.  Fans who remembered the Chessie System were glad to see that I had drawn Chessie.  Also, families that had cats would say, "We'll take the train that has the cat!"
