'Photo' edition, Vol. 7 is an in-depth and panoramic view of northeast Ohio's first railroad known as the Baltimore & Ohio Lake Branch. This compilation contains the largest collection of professional photographs ever assembled. In addition, an index of all rail sidings, stations, and miscellaneous information from Painesville, to DeForest Jct. (Little Chicago) is compiled. Businesses such as Ohio Pail are presented, a chapter on accidents and events that made front page news along with building and construction blueprints are enclosed. Also featured is the EM - 1 'Big Emmas, ' the largest locomotive ever built to run across the branch. It is captured here in all its glory as it thunders across the countryside. All of the materials in this edition are first-hand accounts. The photographers who took these photos worked for the railroad and spent their lives preserving the company's legacy so we might enjoy a look back in time. These men captured an era of machines that showed strength in harsh conditions, while preserving the aesthetic beauty of machine and surrounding countryside. Early blueprints and maps show the right-of-way and local streets at various time periods. If you are reading this you have a savor for Nostalgia. The romance that people have come to love about this branch is generally associated with the steam era. It is the authors wish this final edition rekindles memories, educates newcomers and fulfills the yearning to know what was and remains of the B. & O. Lake Branch. The journey from Painesville to Youngstown was approximately 64.4 miles. However, the story of the branch should be measured not in miles, but memories.
