Hurlock Days is around the corner. MDDE #1203 and #801 will more than likely be operating in push-pull this year. Come check us out!

does NS run down through Delaware anymore?...........there's a large fuel tank farm up around Bear De and I think NS still does the switching there.. Correct, NS hands off the oil trains in Bear to Savage who switches Reybold. They'll usually cut their power off and leave it there to use once the t...

Yes. I worked yesterday on the MDDE and DCR had their locomotive up in Townsend (#2007). Unusual to see more maroon on the eastern shore.

The trains make it to Conway, but not much further east. The bridge is still an unaddressed concern, so trains are not crossing the intracoastal waterway in to the beach area. The freights are running semi regularly. Canfor is still their best customer thus far, but other carloads are appearing. Mos...

Hurlock Days will be 10/1 this year with the first train running at 11AM. RS3m #1203 should be on the point. Tickets will be $8. Come ride the Delmarva rails!

The former NKP GP18 was cut up in 2014, also was a former MEC GP38 and former SOU GP30 on the property. Can't find any pictures later than mid-2014. I'm sure the GP38 is still around, it was running, GP30 appeared to be out of service at that time. The SOU GP30 was scrapped. Another one of the GPs ...

Lakeshoredave, what forum were you reading about this if I may ask? This seems probable given the current woes of NS.

I was going to work in Odenton this week and something caught my eye. There was a gondola (NOKL 320811) parked at the former site of Nevamar. It is locked up inside the gate on the west side of the switch. I guess they are preparing to remove more scrap or perhaps BGE is getting to disassemble the p...

Does any of this line south of Route 66 see any use? I have traveled down I-81 twice in the last two months and all I have seen is a long term stored trailer train in the area of Mount Jackson. I know George's Feed Mill used to get cars. Closer to Route 66, does either of those two big warehouses se...

This is the NS crew (H62 or K62, I am not sure if the Baltimore locals identifying letter changed) and they either outlawed or Amtrak kicked them off the grid so they could run their NEC schedule. This is not a totally freak occurence. It happened back in 2013 with an SD70 parked pretty close to the...

"piker" Don't know who owns the unloading facility east of Hurlock in Williamsburg on the Maryland & Delaware RR. The facility has capacity to unload more than twice as many cars as Princess Anne but has half the storage capacity. That is Tri-Gas & OIl's facility. They have the ab...

I thought one of the GP39s had its HEP power plant removed, and was to move on to one of the state-owned freight shortlines in the eastern peninsula. Since the state owns the locomotives that were not traded in, it should be free to move them around to any state-owned trackage operated by a contrac...

Less than a month away, the Hurlock Days will be on the rails again. #1203 should be on the point of this train.

Yep, I have heard that too. I doubt they have that much traffic to run every other day south of Pocomoke City. The propane might be the only reason until the weather decides to stay warm. As for the barge, the Bay Coast is surrounded by NS. Its easier for NS to route the traffic to Enola and run it ...

As far as Burris Cold Storage goes, the MD & DE RR were temporarily loading reefers in Federalsburg, Maryland. There was a mixed user warehouse with a rail siding that saw frequent use. One of our bigger customers bought the warehouse out directly and since the railroad has had difficulty findin...
