Even when they're railroad mascots

Ah, Chessie. My great-grandfather worked for the C&O railroad, and left behind a whole heap of stuff--old advertising cards, a model trail, even stuffed Chessies with their pillows attached. We've had to sell most of it, but my mom still has a Chessie plaque in her room, and for a while she used to chase our cat around with a Sharpie, threatening to give him a Chessie spot next to his nose.

I'm originally from Pittsburgh, and the C&O was one of the primary railroads in the area. I always thought Chessie was adorable :D
