The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad used its biggest and best power to conquer the mountains around Cumberland, Maryland. In numerous black & white photographs, you follow the B&O from east of the mountains to the crossing of the Alleghenies on Sand Patch grade in Pennsylvania and Seventeen Mile Grade in West Virginia.

Noted photographers such as Phil Hastings, William Price, Richard Kindig and others share their images of everything from articulated steam to E-units.
