New (Unused) Book: BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD Steam on the West Slope by Thomas K. Kraemer

Irvin R. Welp (1867-1950) was a professional artist and photographer who managed a small studio in southwestern Pennsylvania in the 1930s. His interest in railroads and locomotives inspired him to pursue a hobby venture to capture local scenes on the famous Baltimore & Ohio RR’s “West Slope” of the renowned Sand Patch Grade across the Allegheny Mountains. This book contains over 50 of Mr. Walp’s unpublished works showing a variety of B&O and neighboring Western Maryland Railway steam locomotives in action in the Meyersdale area ca.1930-1940 (notably Salisbury Junction, Glade City, and Keystone). Also included are views documenting early B&O diesels as they began to serve on passenger trains. Author Thomas K. Kraemer adds historic background text and caption information, along with maps, postcard views, and equipment details to put this dynamic album in perspective. The book is signed by the author and may include a personal note or dedication by request. Notes: 64 pages, softcover, press-printed, B&W photos with color maps and other images, 8.5x11 landscape format. Free shipping to USA. Thanks! -RRTX
