These units sounded good accelerating past FN (MP 158, Heath Tower, "Panhandle" Division) in the 1970's on a TV train or long
heavy freight...The trackage at this point being owned and maintained by Chessie System.

In 1975 Chessie upgraded the C & N Subdivision between Newark and Columbus to 55 MPH max speed, so I got to
see PC SD45's running fast at points west of Heath, quite a show.
