Although I real big on the B&O railroad.They had some oddball motive power.Some of their steam power looked like a mix of american and european design.

As it turns out the B&O was a lot bigger than I thought.

Your welcome.
One of the nicest vintage B&O videos I've seen. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.
Some B&O Lake Branch action. This ran from the steel making center of the Mahoning Valley to the Lake Erie port of Painesville. In the later years of steam, the B&O EM-1's made a final stand here and we are fortunate that the action was captured by railfans. The route was abandoned in the early 1980's.

The B&O Lake Branch occaisionally featured triple-headed EM1 2-8-8-4's !!
First, thank you for sharing this video.
Second, just wow! My father, born in 1936, was born and raised in Baltimore. How powerful and mesmerizing that must have been as a child. No wonder he loved Lionel Trains and model railroading.
Very nice. Steam helpers put on at Cumberland and spotted the Bromo Seltzer Tower in a few frames.

I bet that caused the ground to shake.That must have been a sight to see.
