Review
“With clarity of purpose and critical analysis, John Stover a history of the nation’s first common carrier railway . . . . The story of technological change on the B&O is told with verve . . . from the ‘Tom Thumb’ to dieselization in the post-World War II years . . . . Scholars of the rail industry will be rewarded with new insights into expansion of the B&O in the Gilded Age, and its role in the ‘merger mania’ of the 1960’s.”
(Keith L. Bryant)
“. . . a well written, pleasant, and informative tour through the long history of the first railroad in the United States.”
Journal of Economic History(Locus)
“Public-relations-type works are ubiquitous, but this is the only scholarly account of a railroad that connected the East Coast and the Midwest.”
The Journal of American History“Stover has crafted a book that easily supercedes Edward Hungerford’s centennial history of the railroad and will long stand as the definitive work on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.”
Journal of Southern History“A masterful book by one of the nation’s premier transportation historians, Stover’s history of the B&O deserves to be in every collection on railroads.”
Register of the Kentucky Historical Society“With the sure hand of one who has devoted a lifetime of research to the study of railroads, the author guides us through a century and a half of B&O history.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read
A great read on americas earliest railroad, and a nice thank you letter by the seller. 5 stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars Well-informed and packed with info.
This book provides a great trip through history that describes more than just railroads but rather the early years and growth of the U.S. If you live anywhere in Northeast USA, this book will tell you how your home town became what it is today. Great for train enthusiast, history enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to know what birthed the present day US economy.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful resource!
This book should be in the library of every person who has an interest in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. My interest include model railroading, but also the American Civil War and the role of railroads; the book includes excellent coverage and photos from the period.

Good. Well done.
4.0 out of 5 stars 2018
I have read a previous book on the early foundation of this road. While it doesn't go into that much early detail it covers the subject with a good overview. This road just didn't have as much impact as latter intercontinental routes did.
3.0 out of 5 stars OK but where's the beef
Very well researched but no real good analysis of what happened
