Book excerpt: "The Baltimore & Ohio, like its competitors, the Pennsylvania Central, the New York and Erie, and the New York Central, profitted from the traffic windfall of the storm years; but the company did not enjoy the full fruits of war prosperity because a large part of its main line lay on debatable ground. Advance and retreat in the contest for control furnish sidelights on the conduct of the war."--Preface.
