The B&O roster of SW-1 switchers that entered Chessie System service included ten examples. The C&O brought a single SW-1 to Chessie System, numbered 8401. None of the 11 EMD SW-1 switchers were on the roster in the mid-'80s to join CSX. The now out of production Walthers SW-1, built by Roco in Austria, represented the one and only C&O example #8401.

According to a 1976 Chessie System roster provided in Jerry Doyle's book "Chessie System Diesel Locomotives," the B&O accounts for a pair of SW9 diesels (B&O #5256 and #5281). The C&O had 23 examples of the SW9 to its credit; numbered in the 5200-series.
