Each detailed chapter includes extensive photo coverage, history text, dimensional diagram and a detailed roster by individual caboose number. There is a detailed listing of the I-17 and I-17A cabooses and where they were assigned prior to caboose pooling. Extensive coverage is included on the implementation of caboose pooling including internal company reports and communications as well as the various dates when specific regions of the B&O implemented pooling.

An interview with a B&O official explains how the M-26 boxcar conversions came about and an interview with Frankly Carr explains how the Chessie image was developed. This book is a must for B&O history students as well as modelers. |

The book covers the development and operation of the railroad ("A Pioneering Railroad Undone by Greed and Fraud") from 1851 to 1917. Built by men of vision to spur the development of the Great Miami River Valley, the railroad became the pawn of robber-barons and Wall Street bankers in 1882 leading to the destruction of the railroad from within by fraud and deceit. This railroad was restructured in 1917 by Daniel Willard as the Toledo & Cincinnati Railroad, a subsidiary that is now operated as the Toledo subdivision of CSX. By James Krause.
