About Us

 

Welcome to the Chesapeake & Ohio 614 Online Store — the official home for merchandise celebrating one of America’s most iconic steam locomotives, the legendary C&O 614. Our store exists to honor this historic engine, support its restoration, and provide railfans with high-quality products that carry the spirit of the 614 forward.

Our Story

The Chesapeake & Ohio 614 is a masterpiece of American steam engineering — a powerful J-3a “Greenbrier” 4-8-4 locomotive that represents the peak of steam-era innovation and craftsmanship. Today, 614 is owned and being restored by RJD America LLC, whose mission is to preserve, protect, and return this locomotive to the rails so future generations can witness its strength, beauty, and historical significance firsthand.

The C&O 614 Online Store was created as the official merchandise hub for fans, supporters, and anyone who wants to be part of the locomotive’s next chapter.
