Athearn Ready To Roll GE AC4400 Diesel Locomotive
Chessie System
No. 78830 Roadnumber #8708 -2009 Release
No. 78831 Roadnumber #8755 -2009 Release

Chessie System was long gone by the time General Electric began delivering AC4400 diesels in 1993. This model by Athearn in the company's Ready To Roll line was not intended to reproduce a prototype. In 2009, Athearn released a group of Fantasy Road AC4400's that included not only Chessie System, but also Milwaukee Road, Rio Grande, and Western Pacific.
