The Baltimore & Ohio was a railroad of firsts. By 1842, it had connected Cumberland, MD, with the East Coast. Under CSX ownership, this important mainline boasts heavy-duty welded rail over which rolls the most modern diesels and Amtrak's newest Superliners. Armstrong levers, however, continue to operate switches at several locations, which are visited in this program.

In 1994, only eighteen mechanical interlocking plants survive in the United States. In addition to Miller Tower, located in Cherry Run, WV, we visit Hancock, Cumberland, plus a few towers which are no more. View the "Closing Ceremony' for JD Tower in March, 1992.

Of course, you will see plenty of CSX freight activity from Baltimore to Sand Patch, in addition to Amtrak's "Capitol Limited." But listen for the locking of levers and squeel of pipes and cranks after the trains pass - a sound fast vanishing from the American railroad scene.

ITEM NOTES REGARDING THIS PRODUCER
  • This producer chooses not to shrinkwrap most of their products. All the products we sell are brand new direct from the producer. We never sell used or second-hand products.
  • Some of the videos from this producer may have been acquired from home movie or video equipment. Please understand that these DVDs may not look crystal clear on modern equipment. These DVDs are offered because of their historical significance.
  • This producer uses "Litescribe" media and therefore the "printed" side is susceptible to fine scratches and fingerprints. Because there are flyers included in some of these products, the flyer has a tendency to leave a few fine scratches on the surface. This will not affect the playability of the DVD.
  • Some of the covers used from this producer may not properly fit the DVD cases.
  • This producer has been known to change the cover design, so the cover image you see here may differ from the actual product.
