Long a collector's item, this book was originally conceived as a record of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's exhibit at the world's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. This volume recounts the tensions, frustrations, disasters, as well as the faith and confidence, of railroad pioneers. Over 250 illustrations showcase the practical, the curious, and the often grotesque locomotives and cars that existed between 1765 and 1893, among them, the John Hancock, Londoner, Mud Digger, Old Ironsides, Robert Fulton, Tom Thumb, and York, as well as passenger and freight cars, seats, vestibules, and other elements. This comprehensive, profusely illustrated record will be a valuable addition to any railroad buff's library. Unabridged reprint of the classic 1894 edition. 251 black-and-white illustrations.
