Westbound At Owings Mills

            The Chessie Steam special heads westbound up the Western Maryland's East Sub passing the venerable depot at Owings Mills, MD on October 1, 1978. The former Reading Railroad T1 #2101 had previously been restored to operating condition in 1975 and was used to pull the American Freedom Train during the bicentennial year of 1976. By 1977, the 2101 was working for Chessie hauling what Chessie called The Safety Express, a job it would have for two years (1977-78). Five months after this excursion, the 2101 would be severely damaged in a roundhouse fire on March 7, 1979 in Silver Grove, KY leaving the locomotive unserviceable forever. The 2101 now resides in the B&O museum returned to it's Freedom Train livery never to turn a wheel again under it's own power. The station came down in 1990. This portion of the East Sub became the eastern end of CSX's Hanover Sub. The Western Maryland Railway was formally merged into the B&O exactly five years later to the date of this photo on October 1, 1983.
