Steam Encounters in the USA vol. 1: B&O yards at Toledo and Willard

April 30, 2024

Jim Guerin visits B&O yards at Toledo and Willard, Ohio in April 1955

Here's the third video in our preview of Steam Encounters in the USA vol. 1. As mentioned in previous broadcasts, this volume will feature the work of Jim Guerin (already showcased in three earlier Encounters books).

To reiterate, we'll open for pre-orders (with various options) two days from now, on Thursday, May 2, 2024.

In this video, we move down to the Baltimore & Ohio's Rossford Yard at Toledo. Then we travel to the B&O Chicago Division mainline with a glimpse at the locomotive servicing tracks at Willard, Ohio.


Our third video (above) features Jim Guerin photographing locomotives, structures and details at the Baltimore & Ohio's Rossford Yard in Toledo and at the engine terminal at Willard, Ohio on Easter Weekend, 1955.
