The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad or B&O was a 19th century railroad which operated in the east coast of the United States and was the first railroad to offer commercial transportation of both people and freight. It was incorporated on February 28, 1827. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad or C&O took control of the B&O in 1963, and incorporated it, along with the Western Maryland Railway , into the Chessie System in 1973. In 1980, the Chessie System merged with the Seaboard System to create CSX. In 1986, the B&O finally went out of existence when it formally merged with the C&O (which itself formally merged with CSX later that same year).
