Abraham Lincoln (Baltimore and Ohio Railroad)

Abraham Lincoln (Baltimore and Ohio Railroad)

The "Abraham Lincoln" was a named passenger train operated by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from 1935 into the 1960s. The "Abe Lincoln" ran between Chicago and St. Louis on the B&O's subsidiary Alton Railroad.

The original streamlined "Abe Lincoln" was one of two non-articulated, streamlined trains built with government assisted funding in 1935. The locomotive, B&O No. 50, was powered by an 1800-hp box-cab diesel made by EMD. After delivery, No. 50 was retrofitted with a quasi-streamlined, sloped front end.
