ITEM E286

By Kim D. Tschudy

The Baltimore & Ohio (B&O), America’s first railroad, was formed in 1827. In 1830, the B&O opened its first 13 miles of rail between Baltimore and Ellicott’s Mills. By 1838, the B&O was hauling mail between Baltimore and Washington D.C.

This book looks back at the steam engines that made America and served the B&O from the Civil War to the end of the steam era. Included are steam engines beginning with small Civil War-era 4-6-0s up to the first streamlined locomotive - #5302. A must for all steam enthusiasts.
