Manufacturer Information:

Throughout its history the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad had been known for conquering tough Appalachian grades and for tackling heavy freight consists from around the country. C&O freight trains moved merchandise from the northern Great Lakes to the southern tidewater seaports. In 1949, the C&O began its switch from steam to diesel power. During the early 1950s the railroad purchased its first GP9 from General Motors' ElectroMotive Division. The locomotive proved so successful that the C&O had ordered a total of 363 units by 1957.

The Chesapeake & Ohio Freight Train Set celebrates the power of both the C&O and one of the toughest locomotives of the early diesel era. Heading this new freight train set is a dual-motored Lionel GP9 diesel locomotive featuring a realistic operating horn and bright directional lighting. A Standard O ACF 40 ton Stock Car, like those first introduced in Lionel Classic Trains Vol. II. 2001, featuring four removable cow figures, highlights the rolling stock of this set. A classic bay window caboose with interior lighting brings up the rear.
