This book traces the history of the railroads that formed the Baltimore \u0026amp; Ohio Chicago Terminal from the LaSalle \u0026amp; Chicago Railroad projected in 1867 to the Chicago \u0026amp; Great Western, which together with the Chicago \u0026amp; Calumet Terminal formed the Chicago Terminal Transfer, which became the Baltimore \u0026amp; Ohio Chicago Terminal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Baltimore \u0026amp; Ohio is followed from its entry into Chicago in 1873 to the formation of CSX in 1980. The author had access to a wide variety of materials from the Baltimore \u0026amp; Ohio HS, Soo Line Historical \u0026amp; Technical Society, Chicago \u0026amp; North Western HS and much more. Unlike most railroads, the B\u0026amp;OCT was not built from point A to point B and considered complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt evolved slowly, adding and subtracting trackage as it was needed. Each of the lines making up the B\u0026amp;OCT was documented along with the reasons they were built and, in some cases, not built. Except for minor changes, the line was complete by 1900, but lurking in the future was its second receivership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a bidding war between Hill for the Burlington and Harriman for the B\u0026amp;O, it emerged as the B\u0026amp;OCT in 1910. Maps are an important part to any history and this book includes 128 maps. There are 78 pages of color photographs and 325 pages of text. Photographers include Burt Mall, Phil Weibler and John Szwajkart, all well-known Chicago-area railroad photographers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 16 recounts two inspection trips taken in 1952 and 1955 that includes the original agendas provided by the railroad with photos added to illustrate what they might have seen. Chapter 17 includes a General Outline of the B\u0026amp;OCT from 1935, with maps of every segment circa 1966. The 1956 B\u0026amp;O Training Manual is reproduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt shows all the tracks and industries served with miles from Grand Central and the car capacity of sidings and yards. Finally there is a locomotive roster, a diesel roster, bibliography and index, 323 pages in total. Whether you are interested in Chicago railroads, Chicago history or a B\u0026amp;O aficionado, this book is must-have reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEarly History, pp. 1–18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Chicago Great Western Railroad, pp. 19–36\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuburban Service, pp. 37–50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Chicago \u0026amp; Northern Pacific Railroad, pp. 51–70\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpansion, pp. 71–91\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Chicago Central Railroad, pp. 92–109\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe World's Fair City, pp. 110–130\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad, pp. 131–145\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProsperity, pp. 146–168\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImprovements, pp. 169–183\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Fight for Control, pp. 184–196\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Baltimore \u0026amp; Ohio Chicago Terminal, pp. 197–218\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Chicago Plan, pp. 219–240\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForest Hill and Barr Yard, 241-257\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinal Chapter, pp. 258–276\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInspection Trips, pp. 277–294\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInformation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBibliography and Index, pp. 295–323.

This book documents building to Chicago and the men who did it. Telling this story must include what was happening not only in Milwaukee and Chicago, but also in the great banking centers of New York and Boston. It took money to build a railroad, how it was financed was just as important as the actual construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, the story did not end after the final spike was driven. The author has attempted to show the various factors that affected the Chicago extension, both internal and external. How it entered Chicago, the problems it faced and how they were resolved is a fascinating story of turn of the century railroading The influence of the Northern Pacific was always present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, the WC was originally conceived as a link for NP traffic to the east. This would come to fruition once the Chicago extension was completed. The signing of the lease to the NP came with high expectations for the future. However, they were short-lived and the financial collapse of the NP not only pulled the WC down with it, but also the Chicago terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt would take six years before the WC lines emerged from bankruptcy and were united. With new management and under the skillful hand of President Whitcomb the railroad enjoyed nearly a decade of prosperity before being swallowed by a Canadian Road, the Canadian Pacific. The book is divided into two parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapters 1-11 concentrate on the railroad, from its inception to its lease to the Soo Line (Canadian Pacific) in 1909.
