Seeing both was a Van Sweringen railroads I suspect that may have happen due to coal business upswings on the C&O but,C&O was a rather proud road that preferred their locomotives-until the CSX took over and still C&O units was held for use on C&O property.
I had photos of faded C&O GP40s leading freshly painted CSX units on C&O trains out of Russell,Ky. :o
On could say the C&O didn't go silently into the history books thanks to her proud employees.
