The B&ORRHS Library and Archives
Welcome to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Historical Society. The society is dedicated to the preservation of and education about the history of America's first Common Carrier Railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio. The society has members all over the world across a variety of railroad interests from modeling to research to preservation.
The Society maintains an archives of documentation from the Offices of the Vice Presidents of Operations and Engineering from the B&O Railroad. We are also the custodians of several thousand photographs and blueprints, maps and drawings. The Society also publishes a quarterly journal, The Sentinel and an bi-monthly on-line magazine The B&O Modeler. Each year the society holds an Annual Convention and two mini-conventions in Ohio and Maryland respectively.
