Chessie Here, There, and Then, Post #1

The first posting of some photos of railroadiana from the Chessie era:

Patches worn by workers in Huntington, West Virginia.

The lower bumper sticker began distribution in September 1972 and made the cover of the October 1972 corporate newsletter ‘Chessie News‘ (Vol. 10, No. 10). This was not long after the announcement of Chessie System and the new color scheme. Employees and family, customers, could request them from the public relations offices in Baltimore, Huntington, and Detroit at first. The stickers would soon be generally made available at all sales offices and other points.
