12 Baltimore & Ohio In Color Vol. 1 David T. Mainey
Morning Sun Books 2003 1582480958 / 9781582480954 NEW CONDITION BOOK

The early photographs in this book date to the 1940s and 1950s, a time of profound transformations in American society, a time witness to economic depression, war, and emergence into relative prosperity. For the Railfan, it was perhaps the best of times and worst of times. Old steam was passing away making way for new diesel. Diversity was commonplace with 5 major diesel locomotive builders offering different looking and different sounding products.

The B&O participated in this diversity and flux until 40 years after the end of WWII, the B&O disappeared into the CSX amalgam. The photographs in this volume help illuminate what was unfortunately the regress of the nation's first railroad.

Morning Sun Books 2001 1582480435 / 9781582480435 NEW CONDITION BOOK

Baltimore & Ohio steam locomotives manifested an intriguing mix of elegance and utility, with some classes synthesizing both qualities. Handsome is another term that fits much of the B&O's fleet, but then, there were also examples of engines wanting for almost any interesting quality. Judge for yourself in the 265 pictures in this all-color book.
