The George Leaves Williamsburg

On the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, its premier train, The George Washington, was most often referred to as
The George. This is the Newport News section that split off from the Washington section back to the west,
to serve Richmond, Williamsburg and Newport News, Virginia. When in Williamsburg, I would stand east of the
colonial-themed station building and watch the passing trains and was usually rewarded with The George or The
Sportsman. This scene, dating back to the early 1950s, is almost unchanged today, with the exception of the
chalet on the right, which is still there but no longer the Toymaker of Williamsburg; it is now a hotel.
