"Northeast Rails Remembered and Mountain Grades of the B&O work to give a broad interpretation of Eastern Railroads. As you watch the older B&O merging with its contemporaries into the CSX. This pair of vides would be a great boon to model railroaders, from operating practices to scenery ideas. Whether you buy them separately or together, history has never been so much fun".
