Tell us more about why we might find this book interesting? Specific to B&O?

[John Johnstone]

Interesting since B&O, Reading and Pennsy all went through Phila.

The authors are very good at finding interesting and unpublished photos, but the captions are not always historically accurate. In some cases where a cropped photo has been published and reprinted as a half tone, the authors managed to find the original uncropped version for inclusion in this book.

I got this as a christmas present from a family friend. It's a really cool read. There is just so much information, it's hard to summarize it. It's the History of Philadelphia Railroads. That's what the book contains, and for ~$20 I'd suggest you all go out and get a copy!
