Passengers who dined on the Baltimore and Ohio railway during the heyday of American railroading had a five star service with white tablecloths, china and silver settings; food cooked from the finest ingredients from scratch; and the individual attention of skilled waiting staff. B&O's cuisine won awards and acclaim as the finest railway food in the world. Captivated by the romance of the subject, Greco and Spence combine many of the B&O's best recipes with historical photos to capture the elegance and charm of the dining car experience.
