Harry, <br />The PRR controlled the B&O back in the teens, or twentys. I believe the courts made them give it up, eventually. It did make for some interesting equipment running on the B&O. Some B&O steamers (mostly Consolidations and switchers)had Belpare fireboxes, as a result, and some Pennsy design cars ended up on the B&O. Many examples of these lasted up until dieselization. A similar situation existed on the N&W as the Pennsy also had a peice of it at one time. This probably does not help you much in your modeling era, but it is an interesting bit of history. <br /> For the transition era modeler, it does allow you to run what looks like a PRR 2-8-0 dressed up in B&O lettering. <br />Hope this answers your question. <br />Jim Kubanick
