This fascinating history of B&O cabooses chronicles their physical characteristics and decorations. An introductory chapter by B&O historian John Hankey discusses the evolution of cabooses from small, fragile cars cobbled together from obsolete revenue service equipment into larger, purpose built units, reflecting the demands of operating conditions, government regulation and trade union demands. Illustrated throughout with over 200 black and white and 36 colour photos, plus 50 drawings and other illustrations. Invaluable reference work for the modeller. 1994 The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Historical Society. Pictorial laminated boards. VG. 176pp. Scarce. TX-H5WM-FHZ6
