In this Top Frog Series favorite, we’ll cover “The Best of B&O” starting with some vintage black and white footage and quickly moving over to color film shot in the 1950s. Doodlebugs, and heavyweight passenger cars open the theme. Steam is still running on the B&O! See passenger trains back into the St. Louis Union Station terminal and head out on the main. we’ll watch the Cincinnatian as it heads out to Toledo and Delray, Michigan.
Chessie System B&O is featured in this program and freight and passenger operations are featured outside of Chicago as well. Double header T-1s are caught hauling freight in the 60s. As the final chapter of steam closes, we’ll see some fan trips roar past the camera. Early diesel passenger trains are still in operation, the C&O has taken over the B&O, and Cherry Blossom Specials are still in vogue and freight operations continue to grow.
