"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. |

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 |
