Those are beautiful coal drags. It just looks so much more real then compared to now.

Really nice work! NelsonArtWorks has some really fine B&O prints and you can also get them directly from the B&O Railroad Museum too.

Great video.

Both my mother and my father retired from CSX (formerly B&O-Chessie)

Trains are in my blood and I love to see footage of the older ones.

Exactly what happened to the B&O?

It became part of the Chessie System Railroads (along with C&O and Western Maryland). In 1980, Chessie merged with Family Lines (Seaboard System, L&N, etc) to form CSX. See

In an investment report it was stated that in 1987 C&O, B&O, WM were formally merged into CSX Transportation.
