Sleep Like a Kitten Tonight

 I realize that I have been pretty lax in posting pictures of Chessie lately.  I wanted to check something on my camera and she was just laying there, so I took a picture of her.


The title of this post is an old advertising line used by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.  The where advertising their sleeper cars.  And those would allow you to sleep like a kitten.  The kitten used in the picture was named Chessie.  At one point, she had a boyfriend named Peake.  When the C&O merged with the B&O, they formed the Chessie System.  The cat used for their livery was based on the kitten in the ad.  So there you go.
