This authoritative, illustrated history takes readers back to the B&O's glory years, with a wealth of images, route information, details of the train's passenger motive power, and the inside story on the frugal railroad's means of streamlining its equipment with innovative and aesthetically striking results. Here is the whole story, with the National Limited's failure under Amtrak's auspices—and the 1981 rebirth of the Capitol Limited as one of Amtrak's most popular trains that keeps that legend alive. Hardbound, 160 pages, 8 1/2 x 11", 89 color and 93 b/w photos.
