Description
 
This 80 page softcover book contains innumerable black and white photos of the locomotives of the B&O. This look at the B&O depicts the road's struggle to master the Alleghenies. The time will be the final years of steam power in all its fulminating glory. The coverage will begin with the East End of the Cumberland Division, for this is the prelude to the battles with the mountains. After a brief pause at Cumberland, the scene shifts to the West End of the division, famous for its Seventeen Mile, Cranberry, Cheat River, and Newburg grades plus the action at Terra Alta and M&K Junction. Then the camera returns to Cumberland for the assault on Sand Patch made by the line through Connellsville to Pittsburgh. It was on these two routes that big steam going all out delivered its Thunder in the Alleghenies.
