For decades the late John H. Meyer devoted his spare time and money to collecting just about anything related to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. His collection is quite diverse and includes china and silver service, paper, locks, lanterns, tools, signs, photographs, books and videos, and even railroad recipes.
