177-year-old B&O "John Hancock" on exhibit at the B&O Railroad Museum. The locomotive was built in 1836 and survived in service long enough to be preserved by Col. Pangborn for the B&O's exhibit at the 1893 Colombian Exposition. It was made operational for 1927's "Fair of the Iron Horse," and today is housed indoors in Baltimore, one of the oldest original American locomotives in existence. For decades it was incorrectly displayed as B&O No. 3, the "Thomas Jefferson."
A collection of engines, cabooses, cars, etc., great and small that are past their prime, but represent a spirit of railroading that will never pass away!!
An attempt to put the best picture of engines that represent each of America's railroads. When a better picture of an engine/type is found, it will be added.
