In Volume 1 of this series we chronicled the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway from Tidewater Virginia through the heart of Virginia and the mountains and coalfields of West Virginia, pausing at Huntington, West Virginia. That city, named for Collis P. Huntington, patriarch of the C&O at the time, was only a spot on the Ohio River, but nonetheless was an important milestone in the push westward. Subsequently, it played a major role in the life of the C&O, as it does for CSX today. In Volume II we moved north and examined the development of the Pere Marquette Railway, its merger into the C&O in 1947, and the important role its lines played in broadening the traffic base of the merged railroad. In this volume we return to Huntington and move west, south and north to complete our C&O journey. As we pick up our story of the development of C&O in the late 1800s, three themes that were being played out on the national stage were also dominating the life of the railroad: (i) the continuing imperative to expand westward to reach important watercourses or railroad connections; (ii) the critical role played by finance and financiers in the development of railroads; and (iii) the inevitable consolidation of numerous small railroads into larger systems.
