Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O)
- Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O)
-
First steam-operated railway in the U.S. to be chartered as a common carrier of freight and passengers (1827).
The B&O was established by Baltimore merchants to foster trade with the West. By 1852 the railroad extended to Wheeling, Va. (
now W.V.), and in the next two decades it reached Chicago,
Ill., and St. Louis, Mo. The B&O's long-distance passenger trains were discontinued in 1971 after
Amtrak was established. Many of B&O's operations were assumed by the CSX Corp. in 1980.
