M&D in Cambridge

I'm posting a few photos by Al Moran of trips he made to Cambridge, MD back in the early 2000's of the Maryland & Delaware Railroad's operations. Of course, the M&D doesn't go all of the way into Cambridge today, but it's nice to look back when trains actually operated into town.

It was decided back in 2016, that the M&D would embargo the line & stop running from just a little bit past Hurlock, MD into Cambridge. The last tank cars from Corrpak had to be taken off their freight car trucks & trucked to Federalsburg, MD & then put back on their trucks to be interchanged to the Delmarva Central Railroad in Seaford, DE back in 2018.

April 2020 Here Comes the Sun!

I've got to quote George Harrison (of The Beatles fame), so "Here Comes the Sun" for April 2020!

The Beatles "Abbey Road" (1969)

The stuff I had to deal with in March 2020, is behind me now so it's back to railroad research & model railroading. I'll post something here soon (I still have to decide on a topic).

Stay tuned!
