CHESAPEAKE & OHIO F-19 4-2 PACIFIC OCT
 |
| In 1932, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway introduced its premier Pullman train, The George Washington. It commemorated the 200th anniversary of our first president's birth, who as St. James River Canal Company honorary president had direct lineage to the C&O. Advertised as "The Most Wonderful Train in the World" and pulled by a Class F-19 4-6-2 Pacific, this was the world's first air- conditioned train. Operating over the 599 miles between Washington, D.C. and Cincinnati, Ohio, it set a new standard for excellence. Born at the depth of the Great Depression, "The George," as it became known, featured Hepplewhite and Duncan Fyffe furnishings reminiscent of colonial times. It soon became one of the most highly regarded U.S. passenger trains. Relive those glory days of high-speed mainline steam by adding The George to your passenger fleet. Heavyweight passenger cars are available separately.
