ISBN10: 0517676036, ISBN13: 9780517676035, [publisher: Crescent Books] Hardcover First Edition First edition. Jacket reverse soiled. 1989 Large Hardcover. 128 pp. Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O), first steam-operated railway in the United States to be chartered as a common carrier of freight and passengers (1827). The B&O Railroad Company was established by Baltimore, Maryland, merchants to compete with New York merchants and their newly opened Erie Canal for trade to the west. A driving force in its early years was the Baltimore banker George Brown, who served as treasurer from 1827 until 1834 and had Ross Winans build the first real railroad car. The first stone for the line was laid on July 4, 1828, by Charles Carroll, the American Revolutionary leader and last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. The first 13 miles (21 km) of line, from Baltimore to Ellicott?s Mills (now Ellicott City), Maryland, opened in 1830. Peter Cooper?s steam locomotive, the Tom Thumb, ran over this line and demonstrated to doubters that steam traction was feasible on the steep, winding grades. The railroad was extended to Wheeling, Virginia (now in West Virginia), a distance of 379 miles (610 km), in 1852. In the 1860s and ?70s the railroad reached Chicago and St. Louis. In 1896 it went bankrupt. After it was reorganized in 1899, it grew further, reaching Cleveland and Lake Erie in 1901. In 1963 the B&O was acquired by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway ...

New York: Crescent Books - Division of Crown Publishers, Inc., Date: 1989. Second Printing . Hard Back. Very Good/Very Good. 9" X 12. 128 Pages Indexed. blue Endpapers. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was the first common carrier chartered in the U.S. and the first to construct tracks specifically for the purpose of transporting passengers and freight. Endowed with an enviable list firsts, the story of the B&O is emblematic of all that is revered in American railroading. When the B&O merged with the Chesepeake & Ohio and the Western Maryland railroads on 4 February 1963, yet another dramatic chapter of the quintessentially American story was begun. The history of this great railroad is a national treasure land monument to the growth of the nation itself. Truly, the B&O grew up with the United States --- from the first stone laid for the railroad on 4 Juy 1828 to B&O's and the nations coming of age in the 20th century. And, just as American braces itself afresh to face the problems of a new, bold century, the B&O, too, lives on --- as a vital componenet of todays's CSX Corporation, one fo the healthiest and most forward-looking transport and communications organzations in the world today. Includes 50 collor illustrations.
