  April 8, 2006 Tour:  Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum, Baltimore, MD:

"We last visited the B&O museum in October 2001, just sixteen months  
before the weight of heavy snow collapsed the roof of the museum's

--------------------
At the request of the B&O museum, I removed all photos that included  
Harry Wilgar who was our tour guide during our first tour of the  
museum in October 2001.  The reason is that Harry is no longer a  
volunteer for the museum, and they were unable to obtain his  
permission for their inclusion.  They sent me replacement images for  
two photos:  The First Stone and the C&O's huge Allegheny 2-6-6-6  
engine #1604.
