Although it was America s first public railroad, chartered in 1827, the Balti 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 In order to compete, B O executives realized they would need to create a railroad like no other, and in 1890 they launched the Royal Blue Line, offering premier passenger service between Washington, DC, and New York City Boasting the company s fastest locomotives designed specifically for the line and featuring the country s first mainline passenger diesel engine , its most luxurious passenger cars the first in the nation to be air conditioned , and dining cars that served exquisite regional cuisine as well as a motor coach service that took passengers from the line s New Jersey terminus into Manhattan, still fondly remembered by many as the most civilized way to enter the city the Royal Blue Line was, as advertised, the Finest Daylight Train Service in the World.
