Thanks once again Marty for sharing Roger's photos and yours, they are all great.  The E-8 #200 as you say was an ex-B&O passenger unit and to the best of my knowledge, it spent most of its Amtrak years pulling passenger trains on both the B&O and C&O lines, eventually it was retired and scrapped.

I'm am very careful to credit Roger or Rick for their photos.  If I don't credit one of them, as in this case, the photos are mine.
