SUMMARY

With 40-plus years of passenger service already to its credit, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in 1923 inaugurated the BaltimoreWashingtonChicago Capitol Limited. Two years later, it followed with the BaltimoreWashingtonSt. Louis National Limited. The two trains would become renowned for outstanding services and cuisine. Noted passenger-train authority Joe Welsh (Travel by Pullmanand Pennsylvania Railroad's Broadway Limited), takes readers along on a marvelously illustrated account describing the development, motive power, and amenities of both trains from the heavyweight era through their respective demises in 1971 and 1968. Illustrated throughout with rare archival photography in both black-and-white and color, along with period ads, timetables, and menus, this look back at the heyday of the passenger train in America also describes the Capitol's and National's principle competitors, as well as their B&O running mates. The result is a fitting tribute to one of the most celebrated "name" trains in the annals of U.S. railroading.Welsh, Joe is the author of 'Baltimore & Ohio's Capitol Limited and National Limited ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780760325339 and ISBN 0760325332.
