Cats & Trains
Posted by John Brady on
You might not think of trains and cats going together, unless you're familiar with Chessie (the mascot of C&O railroad)! Chessie is a cuddly sleeping kitten which appeared on the marketing materials of C&O in the 1930s as a way to publicize air conditioned sleeper cars.
