“C&O/
B&O, In Color”
by respected railroad
author Bob Withers. The book docu-
ments the non-merger relationship
between the Chesapeake & Ohio
and the Baltimore & Ohio. Although
not a true merger, the 1960s affili-
ation of “C&O/B&O” appeared on
timetables, advertisements, corpo-
rate reports, and especially trackside
where C&O and B&O locomotives operated side by side – all
making for great photo opportunities.
Also new from Morning Sun is
