Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad Passenger Train

For those of you who attended Brickworld this year you may have already seen these. I’m playing catch up on photographing my backlog of MOCs so here is you’re chance to finally see them in more detail.

Ma & Pa #6

This one has been posted before but she plays an important role with the passenger cars and I’ve recently taken better photos of her and put them up on Flickr

Ma & Pa “Jackson and Sharp” Passenger Coaches

The Maryland & Pennsylvania RR purchased 10 coaches built by A.C.F. Jackson and Sharp Works, Wilmington Del built between 1902 and 1913.

The Ma & Pa’s passenger cars were originally painted Tuscan Red with Aluminum lettering. Starting around 1914 the Ma & Pa began painting it’s passenger cars in Pullman Green with chrome yellow lettering. Many of these coaches made it to the end of passenger service on the Ma & Pa in 1954.

Coach #20 has been preserved is now part of the vintage passenger car fleet at the Strasburg RailRoad. She wares Strasburg colors very similar to the Ma & Pa’s original passenger paint scheme.

Ma & Pa Baggage RPO #35

N0. 35 was originally built in 1906 as baggage car #42 at the Ma & Pa’s shops in Baltimore. In 1942 a Railway Post Office compartment was installed and the car was renumbered to #35.

Baggage RPO #35 carried milk, mail, newspapers, express, packages, and baggage between York, Pennsylvania and Baltimore, Maryland. Its short 50 1/2 foot length was dictated by the Ma & Pa’s sharp curves. #35 worked another 12 years before the Ma & Pa discontinued passenger service.

Upon her retirement in 1954 she was donated to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum. Today #35 can be seen on display in the historic round house and her interior is open for public viewing.

These are amazing models! I really love the dark green and dark red colors. They were especially impressive in person at BrickWorld. After seeing the interior details on Flickr, they are even more impressive! Just amazing work! Scott (15 years ago, 30-Jul-09, to lugnet.trains)

As expected, when I see your builds, they are so well done. I really like seeing everything you design and create. Those passenger cars look so perfect. Thank you. Eric Sophie Legomaster Biomechanical Bricks (15 years ago, 2-Aug-09, to lugnet.trains)
