EMPIRE OF WEALTH Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) Railroads was the computer industry of the 1800’s.  Starting in 1830 the B&O connected Chesapeake Bay and the Ohio River competing with leading U.S. seaports and Erie Canal.  In its inception railroads were dirty and dangerous forms of travel and shipping.  Cornelius Vanderbilt, a future railroad magnate, was nearly killed in a rail accident, in 1833.  From its humble beginnings railroads and the telegraph connected the vast territory of the United States.  Questions or comments email David@GDTB.
