Book Synopsis Baltimore & Ohio Railroad by : Dave Oroszi
Download or read book Baltimore & Ohio Railroad written by Dave Oroszi and published by Voyageur Press. This book was released on 2008-11-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Americas first common-carrier railroad--a railroad mandated to operate for the public and for commerce--the Baltimore & Ohio set the stage for North American railway development. And as such, the railroad racked up a remarkable list of firsts--first to offer scheduled passenger service, first to experiment with steam power, and the first air-conditioned passenger cars, lightweight streamliners, high-speed passenger diesels, and "piggyback" freight services--to name just a few. In this expanded hardcover reissue of the popular 2000 release, authors Kirk Reynolds and Dave Oroszi explore these accomplishments, and with them a significant chapter in American railway history. With an all-new collection of more than 150 photos and illustrations, the book gives a colorful account of the evolution of one of the nations most enduring railroad icons, through good times and bad. Reynolds and Oroszi follow the B&O from its infancy as a horse-powered railway in the first half of the nineteenth century to its 1987 amalgamation into the vast CSX Transportation network. The book tells how the B&O, handicapped by its rugged route from the East Coast to the Midwest nonetheless proved second to none in serving its customers--whether on star passenger lines like the Capitol Limited and National Limited or on a freight network that included such notable offerings as "Sentinel Service" and the "Timesaver" freights. The railroads story, as it unfolds in these pages, makes for an evocative journey through 160 years of railroad history.

Book Synopsis The Economic History of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad by : Milton Reizenstein
Download or read book The Economic History of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad written by Milton Reizenstein and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economic History of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad: 1827-1853 The monograph has been designed 'as' a study in the economics of transportation, and stress has been laid upon the influence of the railroad in the development of the industry and commerce of the city of Baltimore, and of the agricultural, mineral and manufacturing resources of the state of Maryland. The Baltimore and Ohio having been the first great through-route railroad projected in America, has naturally an important place in the regard of the student of transportation. The beginnings of some of' the present difficult railroad problems appear in the history of this road, and these have not only been treated incidentally as they appeared in connection with the legislative, financial and mechanical history of the railroad, but have been summar ized in the final chapter. The hearty thanks of the writer are due Prof. Sidney Sherwood and Dr. J. H. Hollander of the Johns Hopkins University for their valuable aid in the preparation of this monograph.

Book Synopsis The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in West Virginia by : Bob Withers
Download or read book The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in West Virginia written by Bob Withers and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007-09-26 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1827, a group of Baltimore capitalists feared their city would be left out of the lucrative East Coast-to-Midwest trade that other eastern cities were developing; thus, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was chartered. Political pressure kept the B&O out of Pennsylvania at first, and so track crews headed for what is now West Virginia, building mountainous routes with torturous grades to Wheeling and Parkersburg. Eventually the B&O financed and acquired a spiderweb of branch lines that covered much of the northern and central parts of the Mountain State. This book takes a close look at the line's locomotives, passenger and freight trains, structures, and, most importantly, its people who endeared their company to generations of travelers, shippers, and small Appalachian communities.
