Royal Blue Line

Although it was America's first public railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio did not enter the lucrative Philadelphia and New York City markets until the 1880s, long after its rivals, notably the Pennsylvania Railroad, had established themselves in the Northeast corridor.  Boasting the company's fastest locomotives, its most luxurious passenger cars, and dining cars that served excellent regional cuistine - the Royal Blue Line was, as advertised, the "Finest Daylight Train Service in the World."
