The routes of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad are drawn in solid black lines, with towns on the route labeled.

The other railroads listed are an unnamed railroad running between Lancaster and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; an unnamed railroad running along a short stretch of the canal between Pittsburgh and Holidaysburg, Pennsylvania; the Erie Railroad; and an unnamed railroad between the St. Lawrence River and Belfast, Maine.
