I just downloaded a film of the Baltimore and Ohio "Cincinnatian" and passenger cars on youtube in color. You can view it at; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW7qea5laKU. Hope you enjoy,

The most interesting thing about this train to me was that its Washington, D.C. to Cincinnati, Ohio route included the present day CSX Mountain Subdivision and it ran on a 12 hour schedule.

Impressive!

Great piece of film, but the sound track of music is just silly. I suggest watching it with your speakers turned off.

Agreed on the music. IMO that train was one of the most attractive attempts at streamlining. Very tasteful.

one car in the film still exists ....for now outside Philadelphia, PA just for FYI. Car is still at the Coach Inn along with another B&O car for now.

Thomas W. Dixon's book 'Baltimore and Ohio's Cincinnatian' published in 2008 indicates that Combination Baggage/Lounge car #1308 Hyde Park was retired in 1964 and sold to the Coach Inn in Fort Washington, PA

Was this filmed in Silver Spring, MD? The r/w with the bridge in the background (looking east toward DC) looks familiar from this location.

The B&O placed a display ad in the Washington Post on January 9, 1947 to announce the trainset would be displayed at Silver Spring on Sunday, January 12, 1947 from 9 am -5 pm.

Yes, this is Silver Spring. Where this siding was is now occupied by the downtown S. S. fire station.

Just want to add my thumbs-up to the streamlining of P-7d #5301, formerly the President Adams. Possibly my favorite U. S. streamlined steam locomotive styling (I am partial to blue). What a great live steam model this would be (probably a maintenance nightmare, but great to look at).
