Here's a photo of a PRR passenger train heading either to or from Cambridge, MD in 1935, that's from the collection of Erick Windsor. According to Erick, it's between Linkwood, MD & Aireys, MD. It's hard to tell which direction the train is traveling, but being it's running with its tender on the opposite end of the cars, it appears that the locomotive hadn't gone around the wye at Phillips Packing Company. Maybe the crew ran around the train downtown by the station, & pulled it towards Phillips Packing to unload passengers? Again, this is a guess.
Also note that there is a lot of cars on this train. From the operational information I can gather, typical passenger trains on this line at this time averaged two coach cars & a baggage/railway post office car, but this is a fairly large train. Was it a special for the Phillips Packing company? Was it for someone else (like DuPont back in Seaford, DE)? Was their a special event in Cambridge to warrant running a train of this length? Was the special event in Seaford? Unfortunately, as of this date, I can't determine the back story on this photograph.
