The first stone was layed for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad on July 4, 1828, in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. Twenty-four years later, on December 24, 1852, the B&O linked Baltimore with the Ohio River. Baltimore & Ohio Railroads takes you on a colorful journey through the hard-working history of the B&O Railroad, famous for its great passenger trains, including the Capital Limited and the National Limited, innovative technology, and aesthetic equipment.
