I was curious to know if anyone has any photos of the C&O's Chessieliner?

Are you talking about C&O's "Chessie" streamliner of the late '40s? You likely won't find any photos because that train never entered service. All of the equipment was ordered and delivered, but was put into service on other trains or on other railroads after the "Chessie" was canceled.

This is the article I was reading:

and it sparked my curiosity.

Here's a link to a photo captioned "C&O RDC #9060 WITH THE CHESSIELINER AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF #4 AT GORDONSVILLE, VA SEP 1958":
