DESCRIPTION:
The photos are divided between exiting action scenes and portraits, making the book appealing to B&O fans of all types and to modelers. Many B&O official mechanical diagrams are reproduced from a 1954 Diagram book, showing the fleet at the very end of its life. Many of the photos have not been published before.. The book is intended as a general overview of B&O power in the second quarter of the 20th Century, when it reached its apogee and then declined, supplanted by diesels. This book is primarily a photo album of Baltimore & Ohio's steam locomotive fleet from the 1920s through to the end of steam, and includes excellent photos from Leonard Rice and Bruce Fales, as well as others
"Photo Summary" according to James A. Nichols. As the author admits, this is not an exhaustive work on B&) steam power, but a photographic summary of representative modern B&O steam. Photo quality and reproduction is high quality. Text would have been better if there had been more attention to sub-classes, of which B&O had a great many..
