Well-Done Collection of B & O Photographs: This is similar to other reasonably-priced books of railroad photographs published by Kalmbach. The pictures in this large format volume are all black and white, well-printed on slick paper, and feature informative captions. Its content covers the "heart" of the B & O's operations in the east - not just the Potomac Valley. The book will be useful to both historians and modelers as the pictures show the physical surroundings of the railroad - not just closeups of locomotives and cars. B & O in the Potomac Valley is recommended for those interested in the B & O, the "transition era" from steam to diesel power, and in coal-hauling railroads in general.
Great paperback: A grat paperback on this wonderful railroad and its motive power. Good B & W photos, some caption and map errors but overall a good compilation of the history of this railroad in the Valley
A Great Book!: Another nice book about the B & O Railroad. Anyone interested in the Baltimore and Ohio should have this book. Superb black and white photos of the B & O in the colorful Potomac Valley. Includes lots of steam in action.
