"Old Maud – A Life & Times" by Gregory Ames. Here are some excerpts provided by the author. In the varied and interesting history of American motive power, few stories are as gripping as Old Maud’s, North America’s first Mallet locomotive. Old Maud, as a technological innovation, became a subject of intense rivalry between two giants of American industry – ALCO and the Baldwin Locomotive Works. The book contains not only the biography of Old Maud, but also the socioeconomic environment of the turn of the century that promoted the locomotive’s fame and its affectionate nickname. The B&O’s No. 2400 was talked about and written about perhaps more than any locomotive before or since.

"Baltimore and Ohio's Magnificent 2-8-8-4 EM-1 Articulated Locomotive" by Dixon and Withers. Softbound. 72 pages. B&W photo essay with detailed captions and some maps. This is the story of B&O's last steam locomotive class, the fabulous EM-1 2-8-8-4 simple articulated, which the road bought during WW II. Although B&O wanted diesels, wartime restrictions prevented it from ordering any and the EM-1's were built instead. They handled the last years of war traffic and served ten more years, hauling fast freights, coal trains, and even some passenger runs over the heaviest grades. This book documents their life in photos, drawings, and maps, as well as mechanical and operational information |

"Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in West Virginia." Images of Rail Series, by Bob Withers. In 1827, a group of Baltimore capitalists feared their city would be left out of the lucrative East Coast-to-Midwest trade that other eastern cities were developing. Thus, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was chartered. Political pressure kept the B&O out of Pennsylvania at first, and so track crews headed for what is now West Virginia, building mountainous routes with torturous grades to Wheeling and Parkersburg. Eventually the B&O financed and acquired a spiderweb of branch lines that covered much of the northern and central parts of the Mountain State. This book takes a close look at the line's locomotives, passenger and freight trains, structures, and, most imortantly, its people who endeared their company to generations of travelers, shippers, and small Appalachain communities |
