The brainchild of C&O executive Robert R. Young, the ''Chessie'' would have operated on a daylight schedule between Washington, D.C. and Cincinnati, Ohio. The train's luxury lightweight equipment was built new by the Budd Company. A revolutionary new steam turbine locomotive would have provided power, including speeds up to . Although the equipment was delivered, a worsening financial outlook led to the cancellation of the train before it operated in revenue service. == Concept == Robert Young became chairman of the C&O in 1942. As chairman Young proved himself an innovator and pushed for improved passenger service on the C&O. He intended the ''Chessie'' as a vehicle for his ideas, naming the train after Chessie, the small cat who served as the C&O's mascot and alter-ego.〔 The ''Chessie'' would operate between Washington and Cincinnati in daylight, with connections to Newport News, Virginia and Norfolk, Virginia at Charlottesville, Virginia, and Louisville, Kentucky at Ashland, Kentucky. Passengers would travel in unprecedented comfort: coaches would contain just 36 seats, while standard configurations at the time had between 44 and 60, and the extra space would carry lounge seating. A year before the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad ("CB&Q") demonstrated the "Silver Dome" dome car, Young planned to have domes on the ''Chessie''. A section of the twin-unit dining car on the train's rear would show first-run movies. All the cars would be newly built lightweight equipment.〔 Finally, the ''Chessie'' would be hauled by a revolutionary new steam turbine locomotive, the M1 which would enable the train to cover the between Washington and Cincinnati in 11 hours 45 minutes.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chessie (train)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
