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.

There are many steam locomotives and early diesels pictured in this book. These are not grungy, tired engines here. It looks like the B&O applied good maintenance practices even as the engines were soon to be retired. Some engines here were freshly shopped and painted and have glossy black paint. Inside are many sharp, high quality photographs of the steam to diesel locomotive transition era.

The end of B&O steam operations and the classic diesel era right up to Chessie System merger are all illustrated by the best work of master photographer Robert F. Collins. Morning Sun Books, softcover, 96 pages, 10 x 8 x .25 in., Color photographs with captions.
