This book is about Baltimore & Ohio's Cincinnatian, one of scores of new trains
inaugurated by many railroads in the decade after World War II when passenger business was still booming. It was an all-coach train consisting of only five cars, powered by a streamlined Pacific type (4-6-2) steam locomotive. This one small, but highly advertised train served as somewhat of an emblem of the enthusiasm on the part of many (though not all) railroads in the immediate post-WWII period, embodying the high hopes that passenger business could be retained by railroads in the face of highway and airline competition
