The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad entered Buffalo, NY after it had acquired the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh in 1932. Regardless, it used the trackage and stations the B R &P had been using since 1881. John Prophet visited the Buffalo Division of the B & O, which ran between Buffalo and Pittsburgh, and made dozens of recordings featuring steam-powered trains as they were either approaching or leaving passenger stations. He also took several cab rides in B & O engines. These recordings were made in 1950 and 1953; the last years of B & O steam on the Buffalo Division. This episode of Living With Steam features some of the many recordings of the B & O John made during this period of time.
