Tour the B&O No. 908 "John T. Collinson" Office Car | B&O Railroad Museum

Come see special tours of one of the few remaining intact Office Cars!  

From 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm on October 24th to 26th, step inside the iconic B&O No. 908 “John T. Collinson” office car!  

The B&O No. 908 is a private office rail car named in memory of John T. Collinson, President of the B&O from 1979 to 1983. Built in 1917 by the Chicago & Alton Railroad, the heavyweight coach was primarily used by B&O Railroad executives, like Collinson, for their right-of-way inspection trips and business excursions. In an era predating air travel, these luxury office cars were the equivalent of private jets.   

Currently preserved in the style reminiscent of the 1940’s – 1960’s as Chief Engineer, come see how the executives traveled the railroad in style!
