With white flags flapping on their high short hoods, Chesapeake & Ohio GP7's 5758 and 5783 roll eastbound near Oldcastle ON on C&O's Subdivision 1 with TOFC piggyback loads (Trailer On Flat Car) up front and general manifest at the rear. Running from Walkerville to St. Thomas, the line later became the CSX Blenhein Sub, and today aside from a small spur at Blenheim the line is abandoned.Note, Geotagged location not exact.
