Were the C&O BL-2's equipped for passenger service and if so what routes where they used on? Thanks.

YES!

According to the video found below, they were used on Muskegon to Holland, Michigan service as they were originally bought for the Pere Marquette, but by the time they were delivered, the C&O already merged with the PM.
