Power Clash: PRR VS B&O MOTIVE POWER and PASSENGER TRAFFIC COMPETITION 1827-1962

By David Messer

A study of the competition and development projects that took place between the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio as each sought to design faster, more powerful and more efficient steam locomotives to pull their trains over the mountains. Later, as each railroad competed with the other for the highly lucrative and profitable traffic to and from New York City, further locomotive designs were developed, tested and deployed by each company to varying degrees of success.
