Episode 09 The Baltimore & Ohio

In this episode, we embark on a journey back in time to the very genesis of American railroading. We're talking about the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad – the B&O – a company born of ambition, fueled by innovation, and forged in the crucible of a rapidly expanding nation. We'll trace its incredible journey from its founding in the late 1820s, through its dramatic expansion, and beyond the pivotal years of the Civil War.
