I really want to promote a great podcast that I watch & follow: Second Section Podcast.
It's run by Andy Dorsch & Mike Ostertag & (literally) it's "regular guys talking model railroading."

This is from a postcard in my personal collection of the Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic Railway steamer S.S. Talbot docked at the Cambridge, MD wharf around 1920. L. Kaufmann & Sons produced this card & on the back it says, "Cambridge wharf is blessed with excellent railroad and steamboat facilities. Here is shown one of the palatial night steamers plying between Baltimore and Cambridge." The post card costs 1 cent for domestic mailing and 2 cents for foreign.
I don't have too much to say this month, so I'm going to post an awesome photo from Richard W. Jahn of Maryland & Delaware Railroad's RS-1 #22 at East New Market, MD in 1980. Just a neat shot.
It's nice to see the goings-on with The Packing House in Cambridge. I love the look of the brick & steel inside the main building. This is from The Packing House page on January 20, 2023:”This week, we welcomed the Dorchester Banner for their annual economic development luncheon in partnership with the County Economic Development Office. The luncheon was followed by tours of MERGE, our innovative, shared office environment. We enjoyed the positive energy of this crowd and the delicious offerings from Emily’s Produce!”
Happy New Year's 2023 everyone! Here's an advertisement by the PRR in the late 1930's entitled "Atlantic City America's Great All Year Round Resort" by Edward Eggleston.
