I purchased the B&O Odyssey Volume II DVD recently and must say is in an invaluable source of information, especially in the area of Passenger trains in the Michigan/Ohio area in the mid sixties.

I certainly learned a lot. Surprised me how much B&O and C&O equipment was intermingled after the merger.

There was also a clip of a Kentucky Derby special that had 21 coach cars from the B&O, C&O, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Pennsylvania.

I enjoy both Vol's 1 and 2. I grew up with these trains going 2 blocks from my house, and when I hired on the railroad, I have had the opportunity to operate over most of these routes.

I have just about every B&O tape-DVD out there. The Pentrex B&O Odysseys 1 & 2 are very well done. Nice transfer, nice narration. I have emailed them about when #3 will be out, but they say they're not sure when. I check every train show just in case.

Another good series is Vignettes of the Baltimore and Ohio from Clear Block Productions.

Good to see B&O Railfans talking / sharing information about the B&O. It's also good to hear reviews of publications; both new and old so people know what is out there.
