Anyone know where I can find a Diesel Locomotive Roster that ends right before the merger into Chessie System?

Thanks in advance,

James Mischke's B&O Diesel Roster, available from the "Company Store" of the B&O RR Historical Society at http://www.borhs.org/Shopping/index.html for $30.00 will provide you with all of the information you'll need, except for photos. It includes history of the lives of all B&O diesels beyond their B&O years, into the Chessie and CSX eras. It would be an incomplete work if it were otherwise.

Jim has a work in progress to fully document everything (photos included) he's ever uncovered about B&O diesels in a multi-volume series. Appropriately, he hasn't set a date for publication, for knowing Jim's penchant for thoroughness and accuracy, it would be out of his character to give a date when it will be published.
