Volume II x 365 3 pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Index. Edward Hungerford 1875 - July 29 1948 was an American journalist and author. His main interest was the railroad about which he wrote many books and articles. He traveled extensively by rail and was a specialist in organizing railroad exhibitions. After three years in Rochester he obtained reporting and editing jobs with the Glens Falls Times the Brooklyn Eagle New York Evening Sun and the New York Herald. He continued writing with the railroad industry becoming his main interest. For seven years he was press representative for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. He was also advertising manager for Wells Fargo & Company Express and director of publications at the University of Rochester. In 1925 Hungerford approached Daniel Willard the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and offered to write a history of the company which was shortly to reach its centenary. Willard not only took up the suggestionbut also hired Hungerford to be the B&O's centennial director. Hungerford had seen a railroad celebration in England and created an extravagant exhibition at park outside Baltimore. "The Fair of The Iron Horse" opened on February. 28 1927 including displays and a two-hour play "Pageant of The Iron Horse". It drew crowds averaging 50000 a day. "His success in Baltimore became his calling card" He created five more transportation pageants including the Rochester Centennial of 1934 the Parade of the Years Pageant in 1936 in Cleveland; and lastly "Railroads on Parade". The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is the oldest railroad in the United States and the first common carrier railroad with its first section opening in 1830. It came into being mostly because the city of Baltimore wanted to compete with the newly constructed Erie Canal which served New York City and another canal being proposed by Pennsylvania which would have connected Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. At first this railroad was located entirely in the state of Maryland with an original line from the port of Baltimore west to Sandy Hook. At this point to continue westward it had to cross into Virginia now West Virginia over the Potomac River adjacent to the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. From there it passed through Virginia from Harpers Ferry to a point just west of the junction of Patterson Creek and the North Branch Potomac River where it crossed back into Maryland to reach Cumberland. From there it was extended to the Ohio River at Wheeling and a few years later also to Parkersburg West Virginia. It is now part of the CSX Transportation CSX network and includes the oldest operational railroad bridge in the USA. The B&O also included the Leiper Railroad the first permanent horse-drawn railroad in the U.S. In later years B&O advertising carried the motto: "Linking 13 Great States with the Nation." Part of the B&O Railroad's immortality has come from being one of the four featured railroads on the U.S. version of the board game Monopoly but it is the only railroad on the board which did not serve Atlantic City New Jersey directly.
