| Unknown Photo I now believe this is the PRR Coal Pier at Canton in Baltimore. The small hoppers are cable cars. Here is the reference at the Library of Congress site. http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/hh/item/md0988/ |
My layout is based on the Chicago, South Shore, and South Bend Railroad from Randolph Street Station in Chicago to South Bend, Indiana. It is based in the mid 1960s when I first saw the railroad in South Bend. The layout is 30 by 60 foot. Running NCE DCC and signaling via CTC using C/MRI.

Unknown Photo
Here is a photo I would like to identify. I think it is the Canton Railroad in Baltimore, MD. The hopper full of coal being shoved up the incline by the mole to a rotary dumper. The dumper in turn filling the smaller hoppers which may be self-propelled or on a incline, going to a power plant.

Hagerstown and Frederick Railway Documentary
This revised and updated video is may possible by grants from Frederick News Post, the Hagerstown Trust Company and WJEJ AM. Based on the video by Carroll James. Be patient as this is a 30 minute video and depending on your speed, it may take a while to load. However, it is worth the wait.
I hope to find some way to include a small portion of this interurban trolley line at least based on the real railroad on my layout. The real H&F interchanged with the WMRY in Thurmont, MD. It also ran in Hagerstown along with the WMRY but I don't believe there were any connections there.
