A substantial visual history of one of America's most influential railroads, B&O Power chronicles 135 years of Baltimore & Ohio motive power, from the earliest steam locomotives through the diesel era.
Filled with many photographs, locomotive rosters, technical data, and historical commentary, this volume documents the evolution of B&O engines from the legendary early years of American railroading through the transition into modern rail transportation. Detailed captions, period images, and extensive reference material make this an indispensable resource for railroad historians, modelers, and enthusiasts of steam and diesel locomotives.
The book includes locomotive photographs, engineering details, historical illustrations, rosters, and operational history covering the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad from 1829 through 1964.
