Thisbook covers the Baltimore& Ohio Railroad trackage from Cumberland, Maryland to Chicago,Illinois.

Thisis a history of the United States\' oldest carrier, the B&O, as itexisted from the mid 1950s through the 1970s.

Few railroadscan claim as rich a blend of history, scenery, engineeringachievements and operations. Yet, B&O\'s trackage east ofCumberland was, in a sense, the \"tip of the iceberg\",accounting for roughly ten percent of B&O\'s entire system.

Westof Cumberland, two main lines punched through the mountains,eventually attaining the railroad gateways of Chicago and St. Louis.Along the way, B&O\'s empire included a network of secondary mainlines and branches, particularly in western Pennsylvania, northernWest Virginia, and throughout the state of Ohio.

Except forthe mountain grades of Sand Patch and the West End-CumberlandDivision, these lines have received comparatively little attention.Although not as famous as their eastern counterparts, B&O\'s lineswest of Cumberland were both historic, and important, not just to B&Obut to the national rail system.
