FREE: 1952 3 Cent 125th B & O Railroad Charter Anniversary Print Block

The listing, 1952 3 Cent 125th B & O Railroad Charter Anniversary Print Block has ended.

The 125th anniversary of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) was commemorated with a 3-cent stamp issued in Baltimore on February 28, 1952. The background of the design depicts the charter granted to the railroad by the Maryland legislature in 1827. The design also includes a pioneer car, the "Tom Thumb" (the first American built steam locomotive), and a 'modern' diesel locomotive of the type common in 1952. The original mainline of the B&O stretched from Baltimore to Wheeling, on the Ohio River. The railroad eventually reached Chicago and St. Louis.
