Why Chessie System?!
Many people chose to model large scale railroads such as Norfolk Southern, CSX, etc, and while there is nothing wrong with that, I find my interest drawn to smaller local railroads. It is all because I was born in Baltimore, Maryland, so it is natural instinct to go to your homeland for inspiration. That's how I stumbled upon Chessie System. I chose to model it in Garrett county, Maryland since that area best represents my hometown in Georgia. After all, its the places that you remember that impact you the most.
