The following
photographs are from many sources. They have been collected from
negatives and scattered pictures in an attempt to organize them so that
those that are rare may be seen and enjoyed by others. Many have come from
Captain John Le Cato's vast collection. His interest in all
things railroad will survive him for many years.

B&O RAILROAD
Railfan, Tom Watson, is sharing his collection of B&O steam
engines. The year of the photographs could be determined by the
two cars sitting curbside as No. 6083 arrives. The car with the
visor belonged to Tom and the other to his brother. No. 6038 is a
shuttle bug that runs from Zanesville, OH to Parkersburg, WV.
Residents in Sciotoville, OH called her the "Bawling Cow" because
of the sound of her horn as she approached crossings.
