WHERE THE RAVENS FANS GO - To the stadium just a few blocks away!  The Ravens happened to crush the Steelers today.  This view is also from the train.

WHERE THE RAILROAD FANS GO - To the B&O Museum of course!  This view is from the train as it approaches the station.  Downtown Baltimore is straight ahead.

PROTOTYPE FOR ARISTO'S COVERED HOPPER - Yep, exactly the same shape,  color, and lettering as the Star Hobby version of the Aristocraft covered hopper.

PROTOTYPE ENGINEER - Chris, an avid railfan and G Scaler, is running a 1:1 scale NW2, a well-cared-for switcher that powers the Museum's passenger train.

NORTH MEETS SOUTH - At the Mason Dixon Line of course!  The prototype for the Ma and Pa's Whiteford Station (the gray building on the left) is located near the intersection of Routes 136 and 165, less than a mile from the Mason Dixon Line.  It still exists today.

BABY'S FIRST SMOKE - just what a parent doesn't want to hear...unless the baby is a G scale SD45 that hadn't run its smoke unit yet!

DOUBLE HEADERS DIVING into the Wolverton Tunnel.  When these engines hit the rails this morning, they were going opposite directions!  Finally Art found the switch.
