Baltimore and Ohio : Sunburst Trail to Chicago : Cumberland to Chicago

Full color pictorial of the B&O that is more than just "pretty pictures": the authors include essays that explain the importance of the two western divisions -- the Pittsburgh Division and the Akron-Ohio Division -- as well as the Baltimore & Ohio Chicago Terminal Railroad and how these connections to the industrial heartland allowed the B&O to compete with the much larger Pennsy and New York Central systems. The photos show not only the locomotives and rolling stock but also the trackside structures, stations and scenery that will make the book invaluable for modelers. With decorative end papers showing system map (front) and manifest freight train schedule (back). 128 pages.
