"Probably no railroad in the east has enjoyed more popularity with
the model makers than this one... Once you have started to read
this book, you'll have difficulty in letting it alone. The author
is to be congratulated for giving us such a valuable and
interesting history." -- Railway & Locomotive Historical
Society Bulletin
Affectionately known as the "Ma & Pa," the Maryland and
Pennsylvania Railroad was one of the country's longest running and
best known "archaic" railroads, holding on to steam locomotion and
other outmoded technologies well into the twentieth century.
Connecting Baltimore and York, the line had everything needed to
endear itself to local residents and rail enthusiasts: picturesque
equipment, marvelous scenery, antique passenger trains, handsome
small-scale locomotives, and enough curves -- 476 -- for a railroad
many times longer than its 77 miles. All this made the Ma & Pa
one of the most popular prototypes for model railroaders, George
Hilton notes, and thousands of miniature versions of the line
became part of model railroads throughout the world. This new
paperback edition of Hilton's classic history includes a new
introduction and epilogue in which the author recalls the line's
final years of service. He also comments on the continuing interest
of modelers, enthusiasts, and all who fondly remember the Ma &
Pa.
