Listen Later

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.
