BALTIMORE AND OHIO is
ONE YEAR PAST CENTURY
One Hundred and One Years of
Age Tuesday, February %.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company Tuesday, February %, 1928,
was 101 years old.
1t was chartered by the State of
Maryland February %, 1927, to con-
struct a railroad from Baltimore to
the Ohio River, which it did, and still
bears the name given it at that time,
operating under the same charter.
The Baltimore and Ohio was the
first railroad to be operated in the
United States for the general trans
portation of passengers and freight,
and the first locomotive built in Am
erica in 1929, Peter Cooper's "Tom
Thumb" ran on it from Baltimore to
Ellicott's Mills in 1880.
The evolution of railroad transport
tation in America was shown last year
during a 23-day public exhibition and
pageant at Halethorpe, Baltimore,
concentrating the Baltimore and
Ohio's first 100 years, and attracted
over a million and a quarter visitors.
The motion picture version of this
centenary observance is now on tour
over the Company's lines in special
train.
The Fourth of July this year will be
the one hundredth anniversary of the
laying of the "First Stone" which
marked the beginning of the construc-
ton of the railroad.
