Series III: Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O): Chicago Division

This series consists of photographs of the B&O Railroad's facilities in Chicago, Illinois. These photographs were submitted to the Commission as Employees' Exhibit 12, are referred to by the letter G in testimony, and were taken by James B. Redmond. Mr. Redmond was employed as a fireman and engineman in the B&O's Chicago Division, operating both freight and passenger trains from Garrett, Indiana westward to Chicago, Illinois and eastward to Willard, Ohio. The B&O was a class I railroad in the United States, linking Baltimore with the eastern seaboard, port cities on the Great Lakes, and the Midwest with terminals in both St. Louis and Chicago. The photographs in this series document Chicago's Robey Street Yards, Wood Street Yards, the Lincoln Passenger Terminal, and the industries served in the Cicero Switching District.
