Modern-Day Phillips Packing House

Take a look at the updates to the former Phillips Packing House in Cambridge, MD. The transformation is amazing!

Merry Christmas 2021 & Happy New Year 2022!

 From me to you - Merry Christmas & have a Happy New Year!

PRR's Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from 1947.

Good ol' 2021!

With life throwing some curve balls this year (like my health issues & then my Father passing away right after Thanksgiving), I kinda held-off selling some of my excess railroad & model railroad items.

Now this year's coming to a close & I've promised myself to put things up for sale.

Even though I said back in February 2021, that I'll have a link to the list, I'll repeat it in December 2021 - I'll have a list out soon, so stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 2021!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! The photo is a PRR advertisement from 1946 entitled, "Vacation begins when you step aboard the train!"

PRR's "Vacation begins when you step aboard the train!" from 1948.

PRR Track Charts

 Just wanted to show some PRR track charts of the Cambridge Secondary Track:

This is the section from Cambridge, MD to Linkwood, MD.

This is the section from East New Market, MD to Williamsburg, MD.

This is the section between Federalsburg, MD & Oak Grove, DE.

This is the section from Oak Grove, DE to Seaford, DE.

One interesting take-away from the maps is that the ruling grade for the entire line can be found in & out of Federalsburg (right around the Block Limit Sign "FED").

M-m-m Good Soup...best I ever tasted...it's Phillips Declicious!

Phillips Delicious Soup Advertisement with George Rector (1937).

This is a Phillips Delicious Soup advertisement from 1937 with George Rector. George (1878 - November 26, 1947) was a restaurateur, raconteur, and food authority, who wrote several cookbooks in the 1920s and 1930s. He had several articles in the Saturday Evening Post and also had a column that was published in 22 newspapers across the United States. He appeared on the radio on the Columbia Broadcasting System's (CBS's) “Dine with George Rector” and also played himself in at least one movie: “Every Day's a Holiday” (1937) with actress Mae West (wikipedia).
