Well, here's my logic: Coal Spring (and the real life town of Gilbert) are pretty deep in Appalachia. So, if one of the railroads wanted to try out a borrowed piece of equipment as research, it's a good place to do experimental trials without tarnishing their image "out east." The N&W, C&O, and Virginian all three ran to Gilbert at one time. I just liked the S1 and a couple of other Pennsy engines (I have a GG1 as well, and am keeping the door open for another), so this is my logic of how they appear on the CS&G RR. Simply a bit of whimsy.
