THE PIONEER RAILROAD.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company was organized just sixty-five
years ago in the city Of Baltimore.
Hon. Charles Carroll, Of Carrolton,
was the first President Of the company
and in fact the first railroad President
in America. On July 4th 1928, Bishop
Carroll drove the first railroad spike
ever driven in America, and the Bal
timore and Ohio started on its career
as the pioneer railroad of the Western
Continent. The road was finally built
to Philadelphia and put in operation.
Strap rails were then used and loco
motive that could run twelve miles
per hour and haul twenty-five tons Of
freight was considered an iron mon
ster, but to-day locomotives capable
of running seventy five to eighty miles
per hour, if necessary, and hauling
1000 tons Of freight, are considered
nothing beyond the ordinary on the
same road. -Er.
